The Costantini via ferrata is rightly considered one of the most difficult, longest, and most famous routes in the Dolomites. The average traversal time, starting from Rifugio Carestiato with return to Passo Duran, is about 9 hours. This itinerary overcomes an elevation gain of over 1200 meters and reaches the summit of South Moiazza. It is thus a demanding via ferrata, not only for the length and physical effort required. Indeed, technical difficulties are not lacking, and good via ferrata experience is essential if you want to enjoy this ascent to the fullest. Needless to say, to tackle the Costantini via ferrata, weather conditions must be very good, and the ascent should only be done in stable weather; getting caught in a thunderstorm on the Super Via Ferrata would mean serious risk, and only in good weather can one admire the splendid panorama surrounding us. The view of the surrounding peaks is truly magnificent: Dolomiti di Zoldo, Pelmo and Antelao, Van delle Sasse and Civetta, Marmolada and Sella, Cristallo, Cristallino and Piz Popena, Agner and Pale di San Martino, and many other minor but equally spectacular peaks.
