That was the challenge faced by military commanders as battles raged across the Dolomites during the First World War. The solution they came up with was nothing short of ingenious; make the mountains climbable and accessible to troops using cables, wires and metal rungs. Those "via ferratas" (iron roads) are still in place and now lead climbers and mountaineers to some of the greatest summits in the Alps.

We're on assignment covering a story about the origins of via ferratas in the Italian Dolomites. Over the coming weeks we're going to delve deeper into their history and examine why having such a transport link across this wild and rugged mountain range was so vital for the soldiers fighting in it. Stay tuned for more from the #AlpineIronRoads.
