The new Ferrata delle Aquile, on the top of Paganella, is a highly emotional and spectacular via ferrata that gives you unforgettable emotions; the sight embraces whole Trentino, but keeping fixed on the track too.

Author’s recommendation

Avoid the queue: purchase online your ticket and go directly to turnstile. Choose the stage and pay with your credit card. You will receive by email your ticket (you can print the ticket or save it in your smartphone), scan it on the orange scanner on the turnstile located at the gates of the lift.
