The route starts from the Alba di Canazei funicular station, which can be reached by car or by cable car from Col dei Rossi. From here begins the path that runs along the Contrin river to reach the Contrin Refuge of the same name (2016m). Before continuing the crossing it is possible to visit the Alpini Chapel. The route continues crossing the Marmolada Glacier until arriving at Pian dei Fiacconi (2624m). From...

This route loops around to the east and begins and ends at the base of the Alba di Canazei funicular. For another version of this via ferrata that begins at the top of the funicular, please see this variant route:...

From the Belvedere mountain station (accessible with the intermediate Pecol from Canazei) to the Lupo Bianco hotel. PROS: the only panorama upstream of the Belvedere cable car is worth the entire walk. Fantastic position to see the Marmolada and the Fedaia lake. Obviously there are excellent views of all the other groups in the area (Sella, Monzoni, Catinaccio, Sassopiatto and Sassolungo) CONS: Great difference in height and it is always downhill (not great on the knees). Moreover, in...
