Caratteristica: Grande Guerra

La Ferrata Fusetti Sass de Stria rises, near the Valparola Pass on the border between Belluno and Bolzano. Built by the Alpini and dedicated to the Lieutenant Mario Fusetti, fell here in the First World War, & a medium-low difficult & agrave; very logical and climbing, of great historical value and perfect for those & beginnings.

Starting from the ' large parking lot of the Forte at Passo di Valparola, reachable from Val Badia, Cortina and the Veneto side of Col di Lana. Open road signs on Google Maps. L'attacco è sul versante sud del Sass de Stria, opposto al parcheggio, e si raggiunge in due modi. Via breve: si segue la traccia minore che scende verso il versante ovest e in circa 5' porta alla postazione Edelweiss; da qui, attenzione a una traccia non segnalata che si stacca a sinistra aggirando la parete (presto compaiono bolli rossi e segni bianco-rossi) e, lungo la parete ovest, conduce sotto le bastionate sud fino a un sasso con l'indicazione della deviazione (20') e all'attacco (30' dall'auto). Long way: follow the white road towards Falzarego, visit the Galleries of Guerra and, bypassing the east and south slopes, you reach the same indicator rock (1h from'auto).

The first meters are simple: you climb diagonally to the left and then on a sided wall. After a short connection, you will pass easy rocky leaps on a detritic background (attention not to move stones) moving to the right, up to a nod with wooden parasassis that closes the first section, easy. In front of it you can see the development on a supported plate: you climb first to the right, then to the left in a horizontal section, then a short camino full of hooks. It comes as well; under the sezione più challenging (obviously difficult): a vertical plate of about ten meters with supports present but less evident. A galleria di guerra is reached by the galleria and, for the last metres supported, the equipment is closed (45' by ' attack, 1h 15' by'auto).
