Pont Canavese via ferrata - Piedmont
Location: Pont Canavese
Guide language: IT, EN
★★★★★ 0.0/5
Welcome to the vertical adventure you were looking for in the heart of the green Canavese! Are you ready to tackle the Via Ferrata of Pont Canavese, a unique experience that will lead you along one of the most scenic and rewarding via ferrata routes in the area.
This modern via ferrata develops vertically along an imposing wall at the entrance to the Orco valley, where there are also cliffs and fascinating multi-pitch climbing routes, on the southern side of Punta Arbella.
The verticality of the wall, the various and exposed passages and the overall length make this experience one of the most challenging and rewarding in all of Piedmont.
And not only that! An even more demanding variant has also recently been introduced, classified as extremely difficult, which challenges even the most trained and experienced! Get ready to test your skills on a long overhanging wall and cross two Tibetan bridges suspended in the air for many meters.
The approach to the via ferrata is reduced to a minimum, allowing you to completely immerse yourself in this exciting adventure in just a few hours. The via ferrata is divided into two consecutive sections, so you can also choose to travel only one of the two sections. At the end of the first and second stretch there are paths that lead back to the car park.
During the excursion, you will be accompanied by certified mountain guides, fluent in English, who will guide you with professionalism and passion along the entire route.
This tour is suitable for hikers with good experience on via ferratas.
But the surprises don’t end there! You can customize your package according to your wishes, adapting it to your days of availability and individual preferences. We are here to satisfy your every request, adding or removing services to create the tailor-made experience you are looking for.
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience an unforgettable adventure along one of the most challenging via ferratas in Piedmont. Are you ready to soar to the heights of excitement? Get ready to overcome your limits and conquer the peaks of the Canavese!
