VF Monte Albano is way south by Lake Garda at the town of Mori (not so far from Arco). See on map:

It's popular. I think one of the first "sport" via ferratas (deliberately designed to have strenuous moves). Key news ...
VF Monte Albano is now open - (It had been closed for about three years) - equipment in good condition. Sharon and I had been planning to do one of the Dolomites high-mountain VF routes today, but when we looked into the Sella group in the morning, there was lots of obvious fresh snow. And it was a cool day, so we decided to try a valley VF -- chose Mt A because neither of us had done it before.
I find it to have interesting moves for a "cable-hauling" style VF (as opposed to the kind where you make lots of moves with both hands in contact with the rock). And it did have the expected strenuous moves, including some brief overhanging sections. We were both glad that we'd brought a short cow's trail leash so we could just hand and rest when we felt we needed to.
I liked that the route was not over-equipped with steel rungs -- where possible, they still left places to place your feet onto the rock where. Those places were mostly highly polished (which the maintainers had tried to address by chiseling texture in the rock surface).
One notable place with polished rock (even worse with some mud on your shoes) was the first five meters of the route -- with a sequence at difficulty around Euro sport 3, just to reach the first metal rung, and then pull past it.
I then discovered that now they've also designed a way to avoid that slippery tricky starting sequence, as follows: When reach the starting cable with wooden benches, continue hiking on a dirt trail (somewhat overgrown) to the right (NorthEast), then up and up with some zig-zags, until reach a steel cable for via ferrata. Clip VF kit into that and follow it up, finishing diagonal left to a flat platform. Walk West across to the platform to a vertical ladder rungs, and there rejoin the normal VF route.
