Historical Notes  –
The practice of equipping the most challenging and risky sections of the ascent routes temporarily or permanently
in the mountains it is at least as old as mountaineering itself. Since ancient times, the man who lived and ate in the mountains has learned
to lay stairs, pieces of rope, or create steps in the rock, in order to  to facilitate access to places of vital importance such as streams and wells
i from which to draw water, terraces on which to cultivate, caves where it was possible to find shelter or extract raw materials ... .._ cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ to arrive in time
more recent, where the mountaineers who guided the pilgrims, the merchants, and later also the tourists, through the Alpine passes, came to build
entire routes, with ropes and steps to simplify their transit.
With the First World War, in fact, the construction of railways routes for sporting tourism purposes was interrupted, but many paths and difficult passages, especially
in the area of the Dolomites they have been equipped as paths on the war front, to allow the Alpine troops to carry out their usual movements
with less risk and greater speed in the  transport of armaments. Albeit to a much lesser extent, a similar situation
it met again on the western, Franco-Italian front in the Second World War.
After the seventies, the newfound economic well-being and the increase in alpine tourism led to the development of equipped routes
especially in the Dolomites, with ends not only for climbing to the peaks, but also for traverses that are particularly interesting for history, nature, landscapes.
A further development in recent years has seen via ferratas become sporting routes, without the need to be
in the high mountains, with the preponderance of the athletic gesture over the ascension.

Vie Ferrate in the Susa Valley – 
Although in the Italian western Alps, the diffusion of Vie Ferrate in the valleys is not widespread, the Susa valley
it has at least seven, which have been built or rebuilt and are still maintained.
This demonstrates how some municipalities have received the message that comes from beyond the Alps, where the proliferation of this kind of itineraries is overcoming
every imaginable limit, where every country wants to have its via ferrata.
Like the Dolomites, the Susa valley also has an itinerary created on the remains of a track created for war purposes, the "Via degliAlpini" on Mount Charrà, also the Susa valley
can boast of an itinerary that in addition to being sporty leads us to travel through history, climbing Mount Pirchiriano on whose summit we find
The Abbey of the Sacra di San Michele dating back to the 10th century, or, a mainly landscape route aimed at discovery
of a wild and otherwise inaccessible place, where we can see a very particular vegetation  "The Gorge della Dora Riparia", and also an itinerary
exclusively sporty with different tracks of different length and commitment to satisfy
the neophyte, the expert, and even the children, the "Ferrata del Ruoas", then again
a couple of itineraries inserted within as many protected oases, which develop along the two main ravines
of the Valle Foresto and Chianocco, a long and difficult itinerary suitable for periods of intense heat, the Via Ferrata of the Rocca Clarì .......
