WHAT ARE VIA FERRATAS?
Via ferratas are sport routes equipped with steps, cables, pegs, ramps, handrails, and various devices designed to ensure the safety of users and facilitate their progression. They are particularly intended for individuals who are not accustomed to traditional climbing techniques, ensuring a safe ascent experience.
WHO ARE THE VIA FERRATAS AIMED AT?
Via ferratas are suitable for mountain enthusiasts seeking new thrills in the mountains, especially those who may not be drawn to or have a deep respect for traditional climbing. They are also ideal for climbers returning after a hiatus and adventurous individuals seeking more intense experiences. This activity is highly popular among both young and older adults who find activities like hiking insufficient. It is advisable to have a basic level of physical fitness and some familiarity with heights before attempting a via ferrata.
EQUIPMENT AND SAFETY
Access to the Via Ferratas is free. However, for inexperienced individuals, we strongly recommend being accompanied by a guide. The essential equipment needed to enjoy a via ferrata includes a helmet, harness, and an energy dissipator with approved carabiners. If you do not own any of these items or need complete equipment, renting options are available.
VIA FERRATA CAMALEÑO
The Camaleño via ferrata is situated in the town of Los Llanos, halfway along the Potes – Fuente Dé highway. Its breathtaking views of the Eastern Massif of Picos de Europa and its logical and spectacular design make it the most impressive route in the Picos environment.
The route is divided into 3 pitches. The first two are suitable for beginners, although the first includes a technical step. The third pitch offers three options:
- Crossing a Tibetan bridge followed by an area with 3 overhangs rated as K4.
- An escape route that ascends vertically to the summit without significant difficulties (K2).
- A newly released, highly challenging traverse route that follows the edge of the roof with 2 free steps and strong overhangs, recommended only for experienced climbers (K5).
Without a doubt, it is a route suitable for all skill levels, thanks to its multiple options that enable each person to choose the most suitable path to reach the summit.
