Among the via ferratas in Trentino we also find a wonderful ferrata on Lake Idro: the Sasse ferrata.
Sasse: the ferrata on the lake
FERRATA SASSEFerrata Sasse is located on Lake Idro and connects the Baitoni and Vesta boat docks. The first is in the province of Trento and the other in the Brescia area. It is a path above the surface of the water that unites two provinces and, at the same time, two regions.
