June 2, 2026, Attacco Ferrata Corna delle Capre

Very nicely laid out via ferrata, but not necessarily suitable for beginners, difficulty D, already vertical at the start, slightly overhanging.

The Filippo Benedetti Equipped Trail is the most technical and spectacular section for climbing Punta Almana: it starts from Forcella di Sale and reaches the ridge passing through Punta Cabrera, with short equipped sections and continuous views of Lake Iseo. 🧭 Trail Identity The Filippo Benedetti Trail is an E/EE route with some passages equipped with metal cables, but it is not a via ferrata. It is a historic trail dedicated to Filippo Benedetti, a central figure in the Gruppo Amici della Montagna of Sale Marasino. The sources confirm that the route: starts from Portole and climbs to Forcella di Sale (approx. 1h) takes trail 3V / 314 beyond the pass turns right and begins the equipped section towards Punta Cabrera continues along the ridge to the summit of Punta Almana (1390 m) 🥾 Technical Description of the Route 1) Portole → Forcella di Sale Steep mule track, cobbled and then cemented About 1h of determined climbing 2) Entrance to the Benedetti Trail At the Forcella, cross a fence and follow the meadow with white-blue trail markers. The trail immediately becomes steep, rocky, and exposed in some places. The sources describe it as: sections equipped with cable diagonal ledge on grassy-earthy ground rocky gully where you can climb even without a rope if experienced 3) Punta Cabrera → Almana Ridge After Punta Cabrera, you face an exposed traverse and a final equipped gully. Once the equipment ends, you emerge onto the ridge, with a direct view of the summit cross. The ridge is scenic but requires a sure footing. 4) Punta Almana Summit (1390 m) The cross is reached in a few minutes. Exceptional panorama over Sebino, Guglielmo, Orobie, and Val Trompia. ⛰️ Recommended Descent The classic descent is along the ridge towards the Croce di Pezzolo, then return to Portole via Pezzolo/Osteria Pastina. The Almana → Pezzolo section is steep and rocky, classified as EE in technical sources.

Beautiful via ferrata of medium difficulty. Even where there are no artificial holds, the rock usually offers nice pockets. I honestly preferred to do it with climbing shoes since it develops entirely vertically.
