the real purpose of this numbering on the via ferrata is that if you need help and an emergency call is made, you know approximately where the person to be rescued is located with the help of the number...in this year 2024 alone, over 1300 mountain rescue operations have been carried out in austria since january
For the purpose mentioned by you I would've added to each zone a plate order number. In this way you know with even more precision. But yes, you are right, this is one of the reasons. The other is to help you asses your pace. You get to understand how much effort and probably time will take to completion based in history. By having the zones numbered you know when you get to 3 out of 6 what to expect in terms of effort, water management and time required to completion.
I think its the most interesting via feratta in dolomites. Loved it
I 100% agree!
