Climbing the 'Via Souterrata de la Tune' is a truly unique and unforgettable experience. Unlike a typical outdoor via ferrata, this route, graded B for moderate difficulty, takes you deep into the earth. Located in a fascinating karst landscape, it's an adventure that combines vertical progression with subterranean exploration. As you navigate the route, you'll encounter a series of ladders, fixed cables, and cleverly placed footholds that guide you through dark, ancient cave passages. A headlamp is absolutely essential to illuminate the stunning rock formations, stalactites, and stalagmites that surround you. The air is cool and damp, and the sounds of dripping water echo through the chambers. The thrill lies not just in the physical challenge, but in the sense of discovery as you delve deeper into these geological wonders. Periodically, the route might emerge into openings or fissures, offering glimpses of natural light and contrasting views before diving back into the subterranean realm. It's an ideal adventure for those seeking something beyond the ordinary, combining the excitement of climbing with the awe-inspiring beauty of a hidden underground world. A fantastic adventure for moderately experienced climbers or adventurous beginners.
