An easy via ferrata, ideal as the first outing of the season or to test those who want to approach this type of route. Even if it is an easy via ferrata, the use of via ferrata equipment is mandatory. On the way back, we recommend stopping at Arco Castle for a moment of relaxation and refreshment in a unique historical setting.

Author’s recommendation

Although the route is not exposed, it is not recommended for people who suffer from vertigo. If you do it in summer, bring plenty of water.
