The Ferrata di Preore, also known as Giro Artpinistico delle Niere, is a pleasant low-altitude street near Preore, near Tione di Trento. Alterna easy and moderately difficult passages and has the unique characteristic of accompanying many traits with works of art in wood, from which the name "artpinistico".
Coming from Trento or Riva del Garda, just before Tione a roundabout points to the right the climb to Preore. Enter the village, on the left there are directions to Passo Daone and Larzana; after the first bend you park at the picnic area of the rock gym. Starting point on Google Maps. From the parking lot you go to the gym, from which you leave two paths: you hold the right (the one left will be the return) and, climbed some tiring wooden steps, you reach the attack with the white plate (5' from the parking lot).
The street begins with a diagonal stretch to the left that wanders an easy edge; a step is set up to the most demanding point, a vertical wall on the right with good natural but a little distant from each other. Besides an easy dihedron follows a vertical wall with some metal brackets, then a series of small rocks closes the first part, the more vertical. Continue on the path and cenges without difficulty (where exposed are assured), in the most rich section of works of art; climb into the wood until a characteristic staircase between two narrow rocky walls and a panoramic balcony, beyond which begins the second part equipped, with a long horizontal traverse exposed but well appreciated. Attached a edge, after a short vertical and a stretch of wood you get to a bell, where an optional suspended bridge offers a variant that meets shortly after the original route. It follows a not difficult traverse on the right (with the book of signatures), a well-equipped vertical wall, a short traverse on the left and a couple of easy descents; the path then descends into the wood, always between wooden sculptures, where the equipment ends (about 1h 30' of equipped path).
Ferrata varies and fun that concentrates the technical difficulties in the first vertical section; the rest is a succession of paths and paths equipped at low altitude.
The low altitude makes it accessible practically all year round, with dry rock.
You descend along the path until you return to the rock gym and then to the parking (10' from the end of the equipment, about 1h 45' total).
In the area, towards Trento, the two difficult Ferrata Pisetta e Ferrata Segata, reserved for well-trained experts; easier but very long Ferrata Che Guevara. To Riva del Garda the easy Ferrata Rio Sallagoni e la Ferrata Colodri.
