Book Reviews of Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites: Southern Dolomites, Brenta and Lake Garda Area (Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites)
Book Review: Ciccerone Ferratta Guides
Summary: 4 Stars
I had for many years used the poorly translated Italian versions. But the current British versions are far superior in describing ferratta routes as well as approaches. As with all of these, the one caution is that timing described must be tested against your actual time once in order to determine your personal relative speed/time in completing a climb/hike. We find that many of the more popular hikes, during Summer months, require an hour or so longer than described. But routes and approaches were well described and accurate. Levels of difficulty and "escape" were well rated. I think any English speaking ferratta hiker would be well served to own the Ciccerone guides.
Summary of Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites: Southern Dolomites, Brenta and Lake Garda Area (Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites)
This is the second in a series of two guidebooks to Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites. (Volume One covers the eastern, northern and central areas of the Dolomites, while Volume Two completes the picture, focusing on the southern, Brenta and Lake Garda areas.) Book Two documents Via Ferrata routes in the major mountain ranges of Civetta, Schiara and Pala as well as those to the west in the Brenta. A significant addition (and, as far as we are aware, not previously published in any English language guidebook) is the inclusion of routes around the northern end of Lake Garda and the Piccole Dolomites north of Vicenza. Here, the mountains are generally lower and you can enjoy ferrata climbing over a much extended season, with some routes accessible for most of the year.General Books
