The 'Klettersteige am Puig Major zum Schutz des Ferreret' is a captivating via ferrata located on Puig Major, the highest peak in Mallorca, Spain. Graded as C, it presents a moderately challenging climb suitable for adventurers with some prior via ferrata experience and a good head for heights. The route typically involves steep ascents, exposed traverses, and vertical sections, aided by fixed steel cables, ladders, and pegs. Climbers are rewarded with exhilarating exposure and breathtaking panoramic views of the rugged Mallorcan landscape and the glistening Mediterranean Sea. What makes this via ferrata particularly unique is its dedication to the protection of the Ferreret (Mallorcan midwife toad), an endangered species, adding an ecological awareness dimension to the adventure. It's a highly rewarding experience that combines physical challenge with stunning natural beauty and environmental consciousness, typically taking a few hours to complete.
