It's an ideal route for beginners or those seeking a less strenuous climb, allowing for focus on the breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The feeling at the top is one of pure accomplishment, surrounded by majestic alpine scenery.

Overall, 'Giovanni Paolo II' is a highly enjoyable via ferrata, perfect for introducing oneself to the thrill of alpine climbing, combining beautiful scenery with an achievable challenge.
