| Remarks |
Approach by car : Driving towards Quesa and take direction to the puddles area. Without deviating we will arrive at the Rio Grande camp. Further on we pass a bridge and some side fences until we reach an information board. Then we’ll see the car parking on the right handside. Note: in summer car parking costs 2 euros per car and 1 euro plus per person.
Approaching to the beginning of the ferrata : From the car parking we see the ferrata’s information board. Then we continue the indications and shortly we see the staples.
Description of the Ferrata : We pass the ravine and find the beginning of the track. There are sections of short vertical walls that reach ledges where we can walk to the next ferrata points. We continue climbing until we reach a fork sign with K4 section on the left handside and the K2 section on the right handside. When finishing the sections we reach the end of the ferrata with a rappel option (not recommended because of the near trees by).
Return : We have the rappel and two PR (small tracks) so our choice is to take the PR direction to the right handside where the views are very cool, following the PR after two kilometers takes you again into the car park area.
