Via Ferrata Grande Cir is one of the most accessible and panoramic via ferratas in the Dolomites, perfect for beginners, families and anyone wanting a safe first experience with a mountain guide in Val Gardena. Located above the Gardena Pass, this short but scenic route offers superb views of the Sella Group, Sassolungo and the entire Val Gardena valley.
The approach is short and the ferrata is well-protected, making it ideal as a first step before trying other routes such as the Via Ferrata Les Cordes in Alta Badia or the more athletic Via Ferrata Furcela de Saslonch. It is a great introduction to movement on rock, basic ferrata technique and exposure in a controlled environment.
If you are comparing different options for your holiday, the Via Ferrata Dolomites Experience Page gives an overview of all levels — from easy panoramic routes to more challenging ridge traverses. You can also explore our detailed Complete Via Ferrata Guide Dolomites 2026 to help you choose the perfect tour based on ability, conditions and area.
