DIFFICULTY SCALE
The technical sheet of each route includes the abbreviations commonly used in mountain guides (T- E - EE- EEA - A). Some routes may have a double abbreviation (e.g., T/E or E/EE) as they feature characteristics of both categories.
T (touristic) indicates routes that are almost always short and easy, running on forest paths and/or well-marked or clearly visible trails that don’t require particular training.
E (hiking) indicates routes, even quite long, that run on mule tracks and/or trails often above 2000 meters, visible but not always marked with trail signs. They don’t present significant difficulties but may sometimes have some exposed or awkward sections. Proper equipment, some experience, and training are required.
EE (for experienced hikers) indicates routes generally above 2000 meters, which may run on unstable terrain and/or in rough areas, often characterized by exposed and/or equipped passages or sections, sometimes on rocks with 1st degree difficulty. They require experience, sure-footedness, good orientation skills, proper equipment, and good physical and mental preparation.
EEA (for experienced hikers with equipment) indicates routes equipped with steel cables, brackets, ladders. Exposure is almost always constant. Experience, training, and proper equipment including helmet and via ferrata set are mandatory. Gloves are useful.
A (for climbers) indicates rock routes leading to summits with low climbing difficulty (1st/2nd degree). They require technical skills, good experience, physical preparation, and suitable equipment (helmet, some slings, and always useful a 20-30 meter length of rope).
Tips and suggestions
WARNINGS
- The information below cannot replace the presence of a professional mountain guide
- The mountain is a wonderful environment but not without risks, so it should always be approached with the utmost caution
- In the Warnings of the C.A.I./T.C.I. Guide to the Mountains of Italy, it is stated that the difficulty classification “remains essentially indicative and should be considered as such,” as it is a subjective element. This also applies to the routes proposed on the site
- Difficulty and travel times refer to an average-level hiker/climber in terms of training, experience, ability, and conditioning
- When undertaking a route, carefully evaluate the difficulties, your abilities, and your training level
- Before setting out on a route (other than a short walk), it is advisable to: 1) consult the Dolomiti Meteo by Arpav, by visiting http://www.arpa.veneto.it or calling 049 8239399 (Option 2). The bulletin, unlike national forecasts, offers a quite reliable local forecast. 2) obtain information from the Tourist Office, the local C.A.I. section, mountain guides, and refuge managers. The condition of the route and its difficulty level may significantly vary in a short time due to natural events (landslides, adverse weather) and/or contingent situations (disrepair of trail markers, fixed equipment, presence of residual snowfields, etc.)
- The cell phone can provide a false sense of security, as there are areas without phone coverage
- In case of accident, illness, or inability to continue, contact only the emergency number SUEM 118
