Characteristics

The Ferrata at the Catinaccio d'Antermoia is a via ferrata with an enormous landscape interest that extends both uphill and downhill along the walls of the Catinaccio d'Antermoia. The report is proposed starting from the Gardeccia Hut and presents two options for the return. The environment is very popular but you go up over 3000 m and therefore need the typical precautions of the high mountain environment.

The Ferrata del Catinaccio of Antermoia is the combination of two ferratas - the west and the east - that go up the summit. Both routes are considered to be of modest difficulty although they develop in the high mountain environment and this requires the usual precautions. Lovely panorama from the summit.
The most difficult part of the trip is probably the ridge that connects the end of the western ferrata to the summit cross. This stretch is exposed and unprotected so it requires a steady step. On the descent on the east side, you must pay attention to some sections that risk being wet.

Arrival

The starting point of the itinerary is the Gardeccia Hut in the Val del Vajolet, valley parallel to the Val di Fassa (Trento) but forbidden to private traffic.

To reach the hut use the cable car from Vigo di Fassa to the Ciampedie Hut and via a comfortable path you can reach it in about 45 minutes.

Approach

Reached the Gardeccia hut (1960 m) continue on the wide CAI 546 path that goes up the Vajolet valley in a northerly direction. The path does not present difficulties despite the constant slope. We quickly reach the Vajolet and Preuss Huts (45 'from the Gardeccia hut) and we continue in constant ascent on the CAI 584 path that remains on the left side of the wide valley. We gradually approach a saddle where it rises in the homonymous pass Rifugio Passo Principe (2599 m -1h 30' dal Rifugio Gardeccia - ca 2h 30' dagli impianti di risalita) con alla nostra destra l'imponente sagoma del Catinaccio of Antermoia.

Descent

Points of interest

If you wish to return from Passo delle Scalette need a good workout and a firm foot for the steep stretch near Passo delle Scalette.

The Ferrata at the Catinaccio d'Antermoia is one of the most beautiful routes in the landscape Catinaccio Group and Trentino South Tyrol.
