Via Ferrata “Ra Bujela” was designed by the ISTA society, realized in collaboration with the Alpine Guides of Cortina and has been named after Maria and Andrea Ferrari who’s family partly financed the operation.
The starting point is easily reached by our chairlift that starts from Piè Tofana and in who’s immediate vicinity one can benefit from the services offered by the mountain huts “Pomedes” and “Duca d’Aosta”.
The new route, equipped with 2 walkways respectively 7m and 3m long, is constructed along the right side of the Pomedes tower, which faces Tofana, called “Ra Bujela” (the one on the left is called Ra Pegna). It is of medium difficulty, develops over 150 meters on the cliff and 100 meters on the crest, has a gradient of 100 meters and an excursion time estimated at 1 and a half hours. This itinerary was intended to become a sort of “gym” suitable for those users who undertake these types of equipped paths for the first time and as a valid alternative, in the case of instable weather conditions, to longer and more challenging routes.
