It goes through many fortresses of the first World war and has many beautiful views on he nearby mountains. Via ferrata is short, but the whole tour near the peak Cima Alta di Riobianco (2257 m) is long and strenuous.

From the parking it takes about 2 hours to get past Rifugio Brunner to Bivacco Gorizia (1950m) and another 45 minutes to saddle Forca del Vallone (2180m), where via ferrata begins.
