About this route

Gola Nordest on Jôf Fuart is a minimally but solidly equipped via ferrata graded C/D that also calls for free-climbing ability up to grade II, making it strictly a route for experienced mountaineers. From the parking in the Val Saisera it follows a marked path past Rifugio Pellarini, where red dots lead across scree toward the northeastern ravine of the mountain, visible from afar. With around 1,000 metres of route and roughly 660 metres of ascent, reaching the second-highest summit of the Western Julian Alps at 2,666 metres, it rewards the effort with superb views. For the descent it is best to arrange a pick-up at Sella Nevea and go down past Rifugio Corsi, since returning to the start is far longer and harder. The northeast ravine was first climbed by Julius Kugy and his guides in 1901 and later fortified during the First World War.
