This excursion requires many hours, a good physical condition and a lot of endurance. The effort is rewarded by the incredible views towards Lake Carezza and the Catinaccio that stand out through the large towers.
You are in the heart of the Latemar group, in the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites, areas of disarming beauty.
The via ferrata is only part of the route which, rather crowded at the beginning, will be much less frequented near the equipped path. The hiker will cross paths through the pastures, gravelly sections, large boulders and steps in the ground and on friable rock.

A difficult passage on rocks (I degree), without secure cables on the last stretch of the ferrata. Short descent by steps, steep and exposed, followed by the aerial crossing with steel cables and exposed climb.
THE 10 RULES FOR HIKERS
Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.
Take the Latemar chair-lift (open from mid-June to the mid-September) from Pampeago, and from the top of the chair-lift (2010 m) take trail No 521 for Passo Feudo (2175 m). Passo Feudo can also be reached by cable car from Predazzo and the Gardonè – Passo Feudo chair-lift (both open from mid-June to mid-September). From Passo Feudo take trail No 516 leading to Rifugio Torre di Pisa (2671 m). Just beyond the refuge and still on trail No 516, Torre di Pisa can be seen to the left, a huge spur of rock that leans just like the famous tower of the same name.
