Description

Update information

Characteristics

2025 the bunker is closed, via Ferrata and brige open!

Ferrata witt probably the longest suspension bridge in the world. There are three Tibetan bridges, the longest one about half a kilometer. They are charged 15Euro and there is a possibility to pay extra for renting equipment. Ferrata can be used for free without bridges, but it is a pity to deprive of such an experience and look into the canyon. In addition, you save half an hour of boarding and half an hour of descent from the ferrata. After a long bridge, the ferrata of max B / C difficulty begins, ending in an underground bunker. The last bridge takes us across the canyon back to the parking lot.

Arrival

Torino -> Oulx -> Claviere - parking

Approach

Go down the Via Francigena canyon around the San Gervasio Chapel and board the Tibetan Bridge (Tiket). Alternatively, continue down to get to Ferrata by Sentiero Balcone under the canyon bridge (+ 30min to the start).

Descent

Behind the bunker on the suspension bridge directly to the parking lot (Tiket). Alternatively via Claviere (+ 30min to descend)

Points of interest
