The Ferrata Terza Cengia Pomagagnon โ also known as Sentiero Attrezzato Zumeles โ travels through a spectacular census on the eastern walls of Pomagagnon above Cortina dโAmpezzo. The alternation of equipped traits and free passages on a slender and exposed, with unstable gravel background, makes the itinerary more challenging on the level of attention than pure technique. Extraordinary panorama on the surrounding Dolomites.
Starting from parking at the Putti Institute, above Cortina dโAmpezzo (Belluno). You climb north-east on a path, then you take the cycle path 211 holding the left; continue on the sentiero 202 uphill holding the right and ignoring the 218 marker. When you arrive at the Ferrata Strobel you hold the right and you lower it briefly, then go up to the indications for the Terza Cengia: about 1 now and 30 minutes from the โ start.
The nod initially appears wide, then shrinks considerably becoming very slender and exposed. The equipped sections alternate with free passages on tilted and gravel soil: progression requires constant concentration. The unstable background is the true pitfall of this itinerary more than the technical difficulty of the individual sections. After wandering a corner you can reach the Punta Erbin, with an exceptional view of the Tofane group and the Dolomites of Cortina.
Difficulty Easy for mountaineering, but the exposure and the gravel bottom require care. The altitude difference of the itinerary is 981 m on 16.3 km with a total of 6 hours: the long times are due to the approach and the difference in altitude to be faced, not to the complexity of the ferrata.
From the Punta Erbin you go down the path towards Cortina, returning to the parking lot of the โ Putti Institute. Lโ total round-trip itinerary is about 6 hours for 16.3 km.
