ロンツォ・キエニスの峡谷・トップ17

As of August 25, difficult to reach. Hiking trail from Nago closed.

The Via Ferrata Caduti di Nassirya is an exciting adventure between rock walls and a stream that flows between mossy rocks. The route includes suspension bridges, metal ladders and vertiginous passages, with spectacular views of waterfalls.

If you haven't had enough climbing after the Ferrata Salagoni, you can continue straight away with this second section, the Ferrata Caduti di Nassirya. It leads through the upper Salagoni Gorge to the waterworks. The via ferrata is classified as Category C, as there are short sections of this difficulty. If you want to do the Ferrata Caduti di Nassirya as a standalone via ferrata tour without first climbing the Ferrata Sallagoni, you can also descend from Castello Drena and start directly. You will almost exclusively follow the stream. Footholds will keep your feet dry. However, keep an eye on the weather and avoid the trail if heavy rain is imminent.

The via ferrata is entirely inside a narrow gorge where the Salagoni river flows impetuously; therefore it is constantly in the shade. It is a via ferrata that I would rate between 'Easy' and 'Moderately Difficult'. Technically easy (apart from two sections of a few metres overhanging) and with a short approach. The attention to be paid is in any case to the ever-present humidity and the sometimes great distance of the numerous stirrups. It is almost never climbable since a good part winds vertically on the walls of the gorge; and therefore stirrups for the feet and a cable for the hands are used. One last attention to be paid is in following the metal equipment because you can be deceived and end up in slippery sections.

Great on hot days! But be careful in heavy rain: the narrow stream can swell into an apocalyptic river! ⚠️‼️

When it rains heavily, the water level rises very quickly and alarmingly. I experienced that once. I've never been so wet before! 🍀🙋🏼‍♂️

On this path from Torbole to Nago (the entrance is signposted from the Strada Granda directly behind the Hotel Villa Stella) you get a look back into the Ice Age. Here, maelstroms of meltwater have washed out gigantic funnels beneath the ice, the shape of which is reminiscent of huge cooking pots. Hence the name “Marmitte dei Giganti”. In Italian, "Marmitte" means cooking pot. And then you have to imagine that MTB enduro riders also plunge into this depth on this path. And then you involuntarily think: Nobody can really want THAT 😱!" And yet they do it. And recently three of the world's best bikers (including Hans Rey) even rode up this climb on their e-bikes!!!

A must-do if you're already making the effort to do the via ferrata. The second section is completely different from the first. It's actually easier, but worth seeing. You often cross streams, and small aids ensure your feet don't get wet. It remains exciting right up to the end of the climb. Have fun.
