Climbing Tabaretta via ferrata

The Tabaretta via ferrata is an unmissable experience for those seeking a technical and panoramic adventure in the Ortles Alps, with breathtaking views over one of the most stunning alpine landscapes!

The Tabaretta via ferrata starts from Solda (1900 m), following the trail leading to Rifugio Tabaretta (2556 m), the starting point of the via ferrata. After a short approach, the ferrata begins.
