Via Ferrata Gerardo Sega

Highlight • Climb

Very nice via ferrata but it requires surefootedness. Very exposed and not insured with ropes throughout. Not for children.

August 5, 2024,Ferrata G. Sega (Monte Baldo - TN)

The 'Gerardo Sega' via ferrata climbs a large wall that rises on the eastern side of Mount Baldo.
It is an anomalous via ferrata, in the sense that, unlike almost all via ferratas, to reach the starting point it is necessary to follow a long but pleasant path downhill, rather than uphill.
The via ferrata is of medium difficulty, with …

Magnificent via ferrata with a level of difficulty up to B / C. !
Cannot be walked without a via ferrata set and sturdy shoes!
After it felt like an eternity, almost two hours, to get started, we were already slightly annoyed. Seldom have we found a via ferrata access so poorly signposted.
Hence the pictures of the signs.
But …

🤩Absolutely breathtaking tour, impressive and challenging via ferrata (B/C).
In my opinion, not for beginners, as some descriptions suggest!

Today a tour where the descent is at the beginning. Meet me, I prefer to go uphill 😁 The tour is very scenic and the views are very nice. It took me 1 hour 45 minutes to start the via ferrata. I was through the via ferrata in 50 minutes. There are 3 B/C digits, otherwise everything moves in the …

As described in the link, I would recommend the parking lot at Passo Pozza della Cola, because after the KS you save yourself the descent to the church of Madonna della Neve.

The relatively long ascent, initially through flower meadows, later mainly on shady forest paths/paths, leads past the beautiful Praefessa waterfall. After about 2.5 hours you reach the …

The via ferrata is referred to in some tour descriptions as a beginner's via ferrata.

I would not go so far! All in all, it is only equipped with two B/C points, but the many sloping, partly unsecured walking areas should not be underestimated.

Yesterday in company we decided to do this highly-nominated and highly regarded via ferrata. I have to be honest I didn't like it very much, few vertical walls, mostly traverses and lots of woods.
More than a via ferrata it seems like an equipped path, the ledges you pass are beautiful, some views every now and then of the surrounding …
