Starting point is always Passo Sella, from where you take the single-person museum cable car (one way costs 13 euros, PD members 11). The peculiarity is that it doesn't stop, but you have to jump up and then down, and the doors are opened and closed by the cable car staff......Well, it takes you to the Sassolungo saddle, where the Toni Demetz hut is also located. From there, you descend 430 meters to the Vicenza hut at the foot of the giant Sassolungo. In August, quite a few people climbed up, although even the easiest route is purely climbing and I hope one day I'll make it to that summit too.
From the hut to the ferrata entrance, you need to climb another 250 meters on an easier trail, always finding yourself wedged between mountain giants. After easier free climbing on rocks, the cables start, which are not very exposed, the ferrata itself is not so difficult nor long, but it's renovated, they added one steel ladder.......I like it a lot because you end up right in the heart of the mountain and if you go earlier when there aren't many people yet, the experience is real and authentic. At the carved Mary, the cables end, followed by some free but completely unexposed grade I and II climbing and you're already under the cross. On the summit, quite a few people gathered shortly, who had climbed up the much easier trail, since the mountain on the other side is completely PIATTA, i.e., flat, plateau-like. I returned to the starting point via this trail, first descending to the Sasso Piatto hut and then on a pleasant trail with slight descents and ascents, in about an hour I was at the Kamnov place (there are two more huts along the way). Nice circular tour with very diverse landscape and beautiful views, which took me about five hours. Beautiful and full experience, these mountains always enchant and conquer me again.
