DIFFICULTY SCALE
The technical sheet of each route contains the acronyms commonly used in mountain guides (T - E - EE - EEA - A). Some routes may have a double acronym (e.g., T/E or E/EE) as they have characteristics of both categories
T (tourist) indicates routes almost always short and easy that run on forest roads and/or well-marked or otherwise obvious paths that do not require particular training
E (hiking) indicates routes, sometimes quite long, that run on mule tracks and/or trails often above 2000 meters, evident but not always with marking dots. They do not have significant difficulties, but sometimes may have some exposed or awkward sections. Appropriate equipment, some experience and training are required
EE (for experienced hikers) indicates routes generally above 2000 meters altitude, which can run on unstable terrain and/or in rugged areas, often characterized by exposed and/or equipped passages or sections, sometimes on rocks with difficulty of 1st grade. They require experience, surefootedness, sense of direction, good equipment, psycho-physical preparation.
EEA (for experienced hikers with equipment) indicates routes equipped with metal cables, stirrups, ladders. Exposure is almost always constant. Experience, training, and adequate equipment including helmet and via ferrata set are mandatory. Gloves are useful.
A (for alpinists) indicates rock routes leading to summits with low alpine difficulties (1st/2nd grade). They require technical skills, good experience, physical preparation, suitable equipment (helmet, some slings, always useful also a 20-30 meter rope segment)
Tips and suggestions
WARNINGS
- The information below cannot be considered a substitute for the presence of a professional mountain guide
- The mountain is a wonderful environment but not free from risks, so it must always be approached with the utmost caution
- In the Warnings of the C.A.I./T.C.I. Guides of the Mountains of Italy it reads that the difficulty classification “remains essentially indicative and must be considered as such”, being a subjective element. This also applies to the routes proposed on the site
- The difficulty classifications and travel times refer to a hiker/alpinist of average level regarding training, experience, ability, training
- When undertaking a specific route carefully evaluate difficulties, your capabilities and your level of training
- Before facing a route (which is not a short walk) it is good practice: 1) to consult the Dolomiti Meteo by Arpav, connecting to the website http://www.arpa.veneto.it or calling the number 049 8239399 (Option 2). The bulletin, unlike national weather forecasts, offers a fairly reliable local forecast. 2) to get information from the Tourist Office, the local C.A.I. section, mountain guides, hut managers. Indeed, the route’s passability and difficulty level may undergo significant changes even in a very limited time due to natural events (landslides, unfavorable weather conditions) and/or contingent situations (deterioration of markings, fixed equipment, presence of residual snowfields, etc.)
- The mobile phone can give a false sense of security, because there are areas without phone coverage
- In the unfortunate event of accident, illness, inability to proceed, contact only and exclusively SUEM 118
