Nestled in a picturesque landscape, this route is perfect for beginners, families, or anyone looking to enjoy the thrill of a via ferrata without extreme physical demands.

The return journey is typically a straightforward walk, allowing you to continue soaking in the beautiful surroundings and reflect on a fulfilling, yet not overly strenuous, mountain experience. It's an excellent introduction to the world of via ferratas, promising breathtaking vistas and a rewarding sense of accomplishment.
