Ferrata La Farina del Diavolo - C
Predicting whether..
Characteristics
Italy's successful answer to the vulture wall, but with a cozy descent and a waterfall as an encore. A cul-de-sac with a suspension bridge to the lookout point under the cascade provides variety of beautiful photo motifs. Suitable as a family ferrata with larger children with climbing experience. However, there is no emergency exit - once started there is no alternative than to go all the way to the top. Divide your strengths well, this ferrata is becoming more and more demanding upwards.
If the waterfall Radime is flooding, climbing the path is FORBIDDEN and DANGEROUS!
