Itinerary description

Very nice and challenging via ferrata. Difficulty D and on top the choice to do an overhanging cliff (ED) or a ladder.

Easy accessible. It is just a 10 minutes climb from the parking to the start. The Himalaya bridge is at the beginning. Some parts are a bit overhanging, but perfectly doable if you have a good condition. Up until 11.00 the track is in the shades.

A print out at the start mentions a difficult descent because of trees that fell down early July 2019. But it seems to have been fixed, as I have found no problems in the descent (trees have been cut down, and path repaired). Descent is about 15 minutes.

    Good one, challenging but not utterly except for the very last.part with a nice overhang which can be avoided by taking the ladder.
