Via Ferratas of the Italian Dolomites: Vol 1 by Graham Fletcher
Guidebook to the via ferratas of Northern, Central and Eastern Italian Dolomites, featuring several new routes. Areas covered include Catinaccio, Marmolada, Sella, Puez Odle, Fanes, Tofane, Cristallo, Sesto, Sorapiss and Marmarole. Routes are arranged by valley bases - Pedraces, Selva, Corvara, Arabba, Val di Fassa, Falzarego, Cortina, Misurina, Sest and Auronzo. The first of a two-volume set of guides to the whole of the Italian Dolomites, this book covers an area stretching from Val di Fassa to Auronzo, while Volume 2 covers the Southern Dolomites, Brenta and Lake Garda. The guide sets the routes out according to strategic valley bases, with some guidance on the best bases for attacking each of the routes. The authors, one of whom now lives in the area, have had first-hand knowledge of all the routes, and have developed a completely new grading system, which strives to simplify an extremely subjective topic. Featuring new maps and photographs and lots of useful appendices.
From his base in Wharfedale, John Smith enjoys walking and climbing mountains around the world, and has a particular passion for the Dolomites. He currently leads HF walking holidays. After a busy professional career, Graham Fletcher took early retirement and now lives at the foot of Monte Agner, in the southern Dolomites, biking, skiing and introducing newcomers to the via ferratas.
