DIFFICULTY SCALE
The technical data sheet of each route includes 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 present characteristics of both categories
T (touristic) indicates routes that are almost always short and easy, following forest roads and/or well-marked or otherwise clear paths that do not require particular training
E (hiking) indicates routes, sometimes quite long, that follow mule tracks and/or paths often above 2000 meters, clear but not always with trail marks. They do not have significant difficulty, but can sometimes present some exposed or awkward sections. Adequate equipment, some experience, and training are required
EE (for experienced hikers) indicates routes generally above 2000 meters in altitude, which can include unstable terrain and/or rough areas; they often feature exposed and/or equipped sections, sometimes on rocks with difficulty of 1st grade. Experience, sure footing, sense of direction, good equipment, and psychophysical preparation are required.
EEA (for experienced hikers with equipment) indicates routes equipped with metal cables, stirrups, ladders. The exposure is almost always constant. Experience, training, and adequate equipment including helmet and via ferrata set are mandatory. Gloves are useful.
A (for climbers) indicates rock routes leading to summits with low climbing difficulties (1st/2nd grade). They require technical skills, good experience, physical preparation, and appropriate equipment (helmet, some cords, and always useful a 20-30 meter rope section)
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 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 is stated that the difficulty classification “remains essentially indicative and must be considered as such”, as it is a subjective element. This also applies to the routes proposed on the site
- The difficulty classification and the estimated times refer to a hiker/climber of medium level regarding training, experience, skills, conditioning
- When undertaking a certain route carefully evaluate the difficulties, your skills, and your level of training
- Before undertaking a route (other than a short walk), it is good practice: 1) consult the Dolomiti Meteo of Arpav, connecting to http://www.arpa.veneto.it or calling 049 8239399 (Option 2). Unlike national weather bulletins, it offers a fairly reliable local forecast. 2) get information from the Tourist Office, local C.A.I. section, alpine guides, refuge managers. Indeed, the traversability status and difficulty level of a route may significantly vary even over a short time due to natural events (landslides, adverse weather) and/or contingencies (deterioration of signs, 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, or inability to continue, contact only and exclusively the SUEM 118
