La Ferrata Ziel (or Ferrata Rio di Tel), of medium difficulty and agrave;, go up the Zieltal valley following the bustling Rio di Tel, not far from the Parcines waterfall, up to the panoramic Gingglegg (1891 m) in the Gruppo di Tessa Nature Park. È was opened in Methà August 2020.
Starting from the valley station of the funivia Texel in Rablà, fraction of Parcines, all' start of the Val Venosta (available from Merano also by public transport). Open road signs on Google Maps. From the mountain station, follow the sentiero 24 Alta Via di Merano to the Nasereit Refuge (1523 m, 45'); next to the refuge you cross the bridge over the stream and, immediately after, on the left you follow the red points along the rio until all' attack (15' from the shelter, 1h totali), with the top Ggging.
The street, about 530 meters long, è divided into 10 sections of rope numbered and well anchored; the difficult ` are concentrated in the central part (some moderately difficult passages and a fairly difficult one). The first part rises a plaque resting with cambre and handles on the right side of the throat up to a step next to the first waterfall; after an easy stretch crosses the stream with two options: a suspended bridge not perfectly stable, with plates arranged in a longitudinal sense, or due thyrolienne (Flying Fox). We continue in front of a water conduct, we climb helped by wide cambre towards a rocky roof that is held on the right side on the plate, then we cross to the left over the roof; narrow brackets lead to a vertical wall and to a plate exposed to the right (here an escape route leads to the bridges). Follow the rope on grassy blocks and a wooden ladder up to the sentiero 8, with bench to remove l' equipment (1h 30' from the ' attack, about 2h 30' from the mountain station).
Itinerary varied and fun in the hole environment, with the attraction of the suspended bridge and the Tyrolean. Level difference in ferrata 450 m, total 510 m, maximum altitude 1891 m, development 7.5 km.
Dall'uscita si scende lungo il sentiero 8, si passa il Kaserstein (piccola baita presso un masso) e si arriva al Rifugio Nasereit (45' dal termine); dal rifugio, a ritroso sul sentiero 24 Alta Via di Merano, si torna alla stazione a monte della funivia Texel (circa 1h dal rifugio, 4h 15' totali).
The Val Venosta and its surroundings offer many ferrates: towards Solda la Ferrata Tabaretta, la Ferrata di Trafoi e la Cengles Croda; to Naturno the Hoachwool e la Knott; at Merano Heini Holzerin Val Passiria la Stuller Waterfalls and in Val Senales la Larix.
