Difficulty Trekking We plan to do something useful by putting the official classification of difficulty walking so that everyone can get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe level of trips planned that will always be marked with its symbol.
T = Tourist
routes on roads, mule trails and comfortable, with routes clearly evident and that no uncertainties or problems with orientation. Are generally held below 2000 m are usually access to pastures or shelters. Require some knowledge of the mountain and walk to fitness.
E = Excursion
routes that take place mostly on trails, or on tracks passing through varied terrain (grassland, debris, rocks), usually with recommendations, short sections may be flat or slightly declining residual snow, when, where fall, sliding stops in a short and safe. Develop sometimes on open ground, but not without paths problem, always with appropriate recommendations. May take place on steep slopes, exposed sections are generally protected (barrier) or insured (cables). They may have individual steps on rock, not exposed, or as short and not tiring or challenging due to equipment (stairs, ladders, cables) which does not require the use of specific equipment (harness, carabiners, etc.).. They require a sense of orientation, as well as some experience and knowledge of the mountainous area, walk to the training, as well as footwear and equipment appropriate
EE = for hikers
routes generally reported but involving a special ability to move on land. Paths and tracks on steep and treacherous terrain (steep slopes and / or slippery grass, or a mixture of rocks and grass, or rock and debris). Varied terrain at relatively high (rocks, short snowfields not steep, open slopes with no reference points, etc...) Rocky, with slight technical difficulties (trails, climbing routes among those of lesser efforts). Remain the exception being driven on ice, although flat and / or appearance without clefts (because their crossing would require the use of rope and ice axes and the knowledge of its insurance operations). Need: experience of the mountain in good general knowledge of the alpine environment, sure-footed and do not suffer; equipment, fitness equipment and adequate.
EEA = for experienced hikers with equipment
equipped or via ferrata routes for which you must use the devices of self-insurance (harness, sink, carabiners, slings) and personal protective equipment (helmet, gloves).
EEA-F = Ferrata Easy
Fitness trail little exposed and not very challenging with long stretches of road. Path very secure, with good reports, where the metal structures are limited to one cable or chain attached only to improve the darkness.
EEA PD = Not Difficult Ferrata
Ferrata with content development and a little exposed. The track is usually articulated with channels, fireplaces and some short vertical section, facilitated by fixtures such as chains, cables, metal rungs or steps.
EEA - D = Difficult Ferrata
iron of a certain development that requires good physical preparation and a good technique. The track is often vertical, and in some cases even surpasses some short cliff, very articulate, with extensive exposure, equipped with ropes and / or chains, pins and / or metal ladders.
AIH = hiking in snowy environment
routes in snowy environment that require the use of snowshoes, with clear paths and recognizable, with an easy means of access, the valley floor or in areas inaccessible to non-forested ridges and open a little exposed, hilly and difficulties typically contained assuring safety of practicability.
