Via ferrata delle aquile is a protected climbing route on the southeast slope of Cima La Paganella featuring two suspension bridges and metal stairs. The path winds along the mountain face with sections that traverse horizontally around the rock, offering constant views of the surrounding peaks.
This climbing route was established in 2016, incorporating the Canalone Cesare Battisti section named after a Trentino patriot and geographer. The development made the mountain more safely accessible to experienced climbers.
