Secured Mountain-Climbing Trails
Piz Duleda - Secured Climbing Trail
From the parking lot, proceed along the forest trail straight ahead into the forest. Continue along the slight uphill grade until you reach the Tschantschenon/Ciancenon Alm. It gets steeper as you approach Kreuzjoch / Passo Furcia. From there, the trail goes up and down until you get to the Roascharte / Forcella Roa.
… the trail becomes more serpentine and steeper as you approach the Roascharte / Forcella Roa. Take the level turn to the left to get to the secured climbing trail (follow the sign reading "zur Nives-Scharte über Klettersteig" = to the Nives Gap via secured climbing trail). The climbing trail is not exposed (you won't have to scale the mountainside, but only ascend on foot) and is well-secured. Because of the crumbly, rocky surface, sure-footedness is an advantage.
You will have to scale a small (approx. 2-meter-high)rocky step using a ladder. You have now reached the Nives Gap. The terrain is covered with rubble and occasional meadow-like patches. The rest of the way to the summit is no longer very difficult. You will be able to enjoy a magnificent panoramic view. The summit is exposed and affords a look right down into the abyss, out of which fog rises much of the time.
