Characteristics

The original route of the Cinquanta del Clap via ferrata goes from the Casper hut via the Culzei saddle to the summit of the Creton di Culzei. According to various sources, this variant is in very poor condition, especially the ascending section up to the ridge where the via ferrata connects with another via ferrata, the Simone.

Securing the ridge section of the via ferrata is fine, but I only recommend it to experienced and robust mountaineers with experience in alpine terrain. On the descent from the summit of Creton di Culzei and further from the Forca del Alpino saddle, whichever direction you go, there are challenging unsecured sections.

Arrival

Sappada

Boarding

Over the Simone via ferrata, over the summit of the Creton dell'Arco.

Exit

Three relegation options:


From the Forca dell'Alpino saddle north towards the Damiana del Gobbo bivouac and then back to the car.
From the Forca dell'Alpino saddle across the south towards the Fratelli de Gasperi hut. The path is very steep, lively and partially secured, although the ropes are cut in some places.
From the Forca dell'Alpino saddle via the new and beautiful GAS via ferrata.

Interesting facts

The coordinates of the start of the via ferrata refer to the connection point between the Cinquanta and Simone via ferratas - the ridge section.
