The Path Attrezzato dei Mar runs through the northern side of the Pale di San Martino with departure from the isolated inhabited area of Gares, climbing towards the Mulaz between views of the Focobon. Itinerary not frequented, technically not difficult but with sometimes insidious background on grass and terrous.

You reach Gares from Canale d'Agordo turning south (west) for about 7 Km on a beautiful valley (directions road map). Comfortable parking in the village. On foot you will reach the church and take the route towards Malga Stia following the signs, first climbed on track then on path 754 on the left side of Val di Greta. In about 50 minutes you will reach Malga Stia (1785 m), then continue on path 752 towards Forcella Stia.

From Malga Stia follow the path 752 on meadows towards Forcella Stia. At the Cresta dei Mar you arrive at a metal ladder and a sign that marks the beginning of the equipment. You go up the ladder and face a first esile equipped nod. Continue on a grassy ridge following the labile trace towards the rocky ridge that you walk just under the ridge thread, following the metal cables and paying attention to the grassy and terrous bottom that can be slippery with moisture. The route finally leads to the Mulaz.

Classified Moderately Difficult. The equipped strokes are not technically demanding but the unstable background and lability of the track require orientation and caution. Complexity: technique 2/5, physics 3/5, exposure 2/5, environment 3/5.

Normally open from July to September. Check the reopening before planning the excursion.

From the Mulaz you descend to the Mulaz refuge and then on a path towards Falcade or return to Gares for the uphill road.

In the Pale di San Martino: la Ferrata del Canalino al Mulaz e la Ferrata Gabitta d'Ignoti.
