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.
The route incorporates notable landmarks such as the Arco di Tito and the Fontana della Giovinezza, reflecting local mountaineering traditions.
Climbers need specific equipment including a harness, helmet, and carabiners for the ascent. Access is via cable car from Andalo to the Paganella summit, which takes you to the starting point.
The Traversata degli Angeli section presents a horizontal passage around an edge at 2125 meters elevation, offering views of the Adige Valley.
