Kesselkogel, Mountain summit in Tiers - Tires, Italy.
Kesselkogel is a summit in the Rosengarten group of the Dolomites reaching 3,002 meters (9,849 feet). It features steep rock walls and exposed ridges that make it stand out in this mountain range.
The summit was first climbed in 1872 by English mountaineers Charles Comyns Tucker and Thomas Henry Carson with guide Antonio Bernard from Campitello. This ascent marked an important moment in the exploration of this Alpine region.
The name Antermoia originates from Ladin mythology, where a water nymph resided in the adjacent lake within the Rosengarten mountain range.
Access is available through several routes, including the Via Ferrata from Rifugio Passo Principe, which requires proper safety gear and climbing experience. Visitors should be prepared for alpine conditions and exposed terrain.
The mountain offers over 80 different climbing routes across its rock formation, making it one of the most diverse climbing areas in the region. This variety draws mountaineers with different skill levels.

Via ferrata routes in the Alps combine steel cables, metal rungs, and bridges into protected climbing paths through alpine rock faces. The routes extend through the Dolomites, French Alps, Austrian Ötztal, and Swiss mountain regions between 2,600 and 9,800 feet in elevation. Routes such as the Ivano Dibona or Cresta Ovest della Marmolada follow former military paths from World War I. Routes like the Via Ferrata de la Cascade in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes run alongside waterfalls and gorges. In the Salzkammergut and Grisons regions, routes such as Postalm and Schwarzhorn access summits and mountain lakes. The Spanish Voie Olmo near Alicante offers Mediterranean climbing sections in limestone cliffs. Technical sections with overhangs and traverses alternate with secured walking passages. Most via ferrata require climbing harnesses and appropriate equipment.
