Climbing the Vía Ferrata del Castellaso, graded C/D, offers a thrilling and physically demanding alpine experience. This route is considered challenging, pushing beyond moderate difficulty, featuring sustained vertical sections, significant exposure, and potentially some short overhangs or very strenuous passages that require good arm strength and a solid head for heights. You'll navigate steep rock faces using robust steel cables, iron rungs, and ladders, often with breathtaking drops beneath your feet. The ascent is consistently engaging, testing both endurance and technique, and rewards climbers with expansive, panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. It's a highly rewarding climb for experienced via ferrata enthusiasts or those looking for a significant step up in difficulty and intensity.
