Characteristics

Via ferrata is led by a south-west wall under the fortress of Victor Emmanuel. On the way you will meet two, about 5 meters long stretches, which go into overhang. There are a lot of iron cramps, so even the overhangs are manageable for an average-skilled ferratist. Ferrata is done in the so-called French style, slack rope, crock and lots of steps.

Arrival
