Via Ferrata Ponza Grande is a fantastic climb offering stunning views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the island of Ponza. Graded B/C, it's a good option for those with some prior via ferrata experience. The route involves a mix of easy scrambling, traversing exposed sections with metal rungs, and a few short vertical climbs. While not overly strenuous, the exposure can be significant, so a good head for heights is essential. The final section, often involving a small summit scramble, rewards you with panoramic vistas. Remember to bring appropriate via ferrata equipment (harness, helmet, via ferrata set), check the weather forecast beforehand, and be aware of the potential for rockfall, especially if other climbers are above you. Overall, Via Ferrata Ponza Grande is a memorable and rewarding experience for any via ferrata enthusiast.
