VF Ivano Dibona

The Sentiero Ferrato Ivano Dibona is a challenging high alpine route along the Zurlon ridge, the main crest on Cristallo, a mountain group in the Italian Dolomites, northeast of Cortina d'Ampezzo, in the province of Belluno, Veneto, Italy.

[3][4] The route was explored in the 1960s by Freddy and Ivano Dibona, subsequently made safe for tourists, and reopened in September 1970.

It takes about four hours to walk from Capanna Rio Gero (1698 m) below Passo Tre Croci to the start of the via ferrata at the Forcella Staunies for the ascent, which is arduous in the last part due to loose scree.

The VF Ivano Dibona is not a climbing route, but follows the mountain ridge, via ladders, tunnels and bridges.

The peak Cristallino d'Ampezzo (3,008 m) can be climbed via a short side route from the main Ivano Dibona.
