DIFFICULTY SCALE
The technical sheet of each route includes the commonly used abbreviations in mountain guides (T- E - EE- EEA - A). Some routes may have a double abbreviation (e.g., T/E or E/EE) because they have characteristics of both categories
T (touristic) indicates routes almost always short and easy, running along forest tracks and/or well-marked or otherwise obvious paths that do not require special training
E (hiking) indicates routes, sometimes quite long, that run along mule tracks and/or paths often above 2000 meters, clear but not always marked. They do not have significant difficulties, but may sometimes include some exposed or tricky segments. Appropriate equipment, some experience, and training are required
EE (for experienced hikers) indicates routes generally above 2000 meters, which can run on treacherous terrain and/or in challenging zones, often characterized by exposed and/or equipped passages, sometimes on rock faces with difficulties of grade 1. Experience, sure-footedness, orientation skills, good equipment, and physical-psychological preparation are required.
EEA (for experienced hikers with equipment) indicates routes equipped with metal cables, handles, ladders. Exposure is almost always constant. Experience, training and proper equipment including helmet and via ferrata set are mandatory. Gloves are useful.
A (for alpinists) indicates rock routes leading to peaks with low alpine difficulty (grade 1/2). Technical skills, good experience, physical preparation, suitable equipment (helmet, some slings, always useful a 20-30 meter rope segment) are required
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 without risks, so it should always be approached with the utmost caution
- In the Warnings of the CAI/TCI Italian Mountain Guides it is stated that the classification of difficulties "remains essentially indicative and should be considered as such", being a subjective element. This also applies to the routes proposed on the site
- The classification of difficulties and the times indicated refer to a hiker/mountaineer of average level regarding training, experience, skills, and fitness
- When undertaking a specific route, carefully evaluate the difficulties, your abilities, and your level of training
- Before undertaking a route (other than a short walk), it is good practice to: 1) consult the Dolomiti Meteo from Arpav by visiting the website http://www.arpa.veneto.it or calling the number 049 8239399 (Option 2). The bulletin, unlike national weather bulletins, offers a rather reliable local forecast. 2) obtain information from the Tourist Office, the local CAI section, mountain guides, refuge managers. Indeed, the state of passability of a route and its difficulty level can undergo significant variations even in a very short time due to natural events (landslides, unfavorable weather) and/or contingent situations (deterioration of trail markers, 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 case of accident, illness, inability to continue, contact only and exclusively the emergency number 118 SUEM
