Route
The "Sci Club 18" is a demanding new via ferrata which winds its way up the Crepe di Faloria face, immediately beneath the cable car which leads up to the top of Monte Faloria above Cortina. This difficult and exposed ferrata offers spectacular views over the entire Ampezzo basin and was created by the Cortina Mountain Guides and the Faloria company with 700m of steel cables and more than 300 pins.
The ferrata is named after the Sci Club 18, the skiers club founded in 1930 in a pub in Rome by 18 friends who wanted to "promote skiing and the moral standpoint of youths." The members generously provided a grant for this beautiful itinerary which runs parallel with the famous off-piste route "Sci 18."

For experts only. The route is difficult and exposed and it's highly likely that the ferrata will become very popular indeed. The numerous vertical sections are overcome with the help of steps and ladders but require good fitness and experience on vie ferrate.

Non per tutti, bene attrezzata, spettacolare ma illogica come ferrata. Un mix tra tecnica e agonismo.

E' attrezzata benissimo e con ottime protezioni.
E' impegnativa con passaggi esposti.
Tempo di percorrenza dall'attacco alla vetta: 1h 15 min. Da un punto di vista paesaggistico non ha senso (stessa visuale dal sentiero 212). La + dura ferrata dell'Ampezzo ma assolutamente una delle meno belle!

Ciao, sono un appasionata montanara e sopratutto di ferrate. Ieri ho avuto il piacere di fare la ferrata sci club 18 del Faloria, è stato un vero piacere anche se molto impegnativa ma il meraviglioso panorama ripaga la fatica della salita. Complimenti allo sci club per il lavoro ben fatto. :)

11-07-2010, Leo e Meo, Ovaro (UD); ferrata bellissima e a tratti impegnativa.
Suggerisco a chi di dovere di segnalare nei modi opportuni a chi si accingesse a salirci che non è una via per tutti.
