Characteristics

Ferrata Croce di Fai is a modern via ferrata that runs along the southeast wall directly to the viewpoint of Croce di Fai. Similar to Val del Ri, there are a lot of tricks installed here, there are no rope bridges, but as a finale there is an exposed rope ladder. The via ferrata has been ingeniously constructed over pillars and small turrets below, and there is a pedestrian arcade in front of the final wall. The steep end wall is once again equipped with countless crampons and a rope ladder, after which you can reach the top cross over a few steps. Overall a good via ferrata that can be combined with the Val del Ri via ferrata below (starting in Mezzolombardo) to make a big circuit. From the top you have a fantastic view of the Adige valley and the metropolis of Trento.

The via ferrata has one short spot of C difficulty, the rest are mostly around B/C difficulty.
