Gruppo: Valtellina

La Ferrata della Sassella ` a short, well-equipped route built on the rock gym of the same name, at the western gates of Sondrio in Valtellina. The development è content and, except for short sections, does not have any difficulty and importance. The wall offers two parallel routes connected by a suspended bridge, indicated in the all' basin; entrance: a quick and fun itinerary, perfect to join some d' shooting; climbing.

You can reach the locality; Sassella, on the west outskirts of Sondrio. Open road signs on Google Maps. Already from the parking lot is well visible, on the opposite side of the road, the wall on which the ferrata and the climbing routes run; a short path leads in a few minutes to the wall and the attack.

The wall, a sixty-foot tall, houses two tracks that rejoin to metà. The settore right rises a rather lean hedgehog, then a vertical at first and finally with a short overhanging section, supported by numerous brackets; it arrives così to the ponte suspended on three ropes. Cross it, continue on a plaque with an easy traverse to the left until you meet the left settore , which attacks about fifty meters beyond the right leaving, going up a vertical wall but full of brackets and handles. From the point where the two itineraries are joined vertically on brackets along a placconata, then the path enters the forest turning into a path equipped and ends in short (circa 20' overall wall).

Short and never really difficult, ideal for those who move the first steps and perfect to match some shooting along the adjacent rock gym.

The low share makes it possible for most of the year. An official GPS track is not available for this route.

You descend on the right following the traces of return.

The Ferrata è was inaugurated on the 21 April 2018, at the adjacent rock gym.

Ferrates in Valtellina are not many: Sassella lends itself to be combined with Torrione Porro or Ferrata della Croce al Palabione; not far, in Valchiavenna, the ferrates ♪ e Succeeds.
