Via Ferrata Michielli Strobel

From the Punta Fiames parking lot, take trail no. 218, which heads into the pine forest across from the hotel. It crosses the "Ex Ferrovia" bike path, then begins a sustained climb. The route then follows a steep, winding scree gully up to the plaque marking the start of the via ferrata at around 1,700 meters—an approach hike of about one hour with 400 meters of elevation gain.

The via ferrata alternates between equipped sections and short connecting trails. The most distinctive passage is a long, high, impressive iron ladder. Route-finding between the equipped sections, along ledges and slabs, relies on cairns and isn't always straightforward, especially higher up. The rock generally offers plenty of handholds, with a few more technical passages. After climbing 500 meters, you emerge onto the summit plateau. A short trail leads to the Punta Fiames cross, where you can admire Cortina, the Tofane, the Cristallo, and the Croda da Lago.

To descend, head toward the north face in the direction of Forcella Pomagagnon (2,178 m), which is reached in about 15 minutes. From there, Trail No. 202 plunges into a long scree gully that must be descended with care, favoring the right side as you descend (west). The terrain is very steep, loose, and there is no clear trail. This is the most challenging section of the route. Once you're past the scree, the trail merges with Trail No. 218. This trail leads gently back to the Fiames parking lot through the pine forest.
