Hike to the Sorrosal waterfall

The start of the walk through the ferrata is quite typical, you should only carry the necessary equipment to avoid overloading yourself and not be uncomfortable during the walk. A staircase or bridge welcomes you to the wonderful journey you are about to start, this is only the first small obstacle you have to overcome. From here you climb until you reach the height of the first well of the waterfall.

The ground in this area is not firm and that is why the via ferrata is closed in winter. Due to the ice, the ground is unstable and there is a possibility of landslides.

Afterwards, you have to go up with the waterfall on one side, then it is common for visitors to go into a small grotto nearby to connect with the full nature, and then cross it without difficulty.

Cave canyon dug into the wall

It is important to carry a torch or headlamp, because you have to cross the inside of a canyon that gives rise to the waterfall, and it is usually somewhat dark. After walking along this part of the path, continue ahead and then to the right. The path ascends and returns to the Balcón de Broto.

From here the path is full of signposts indicating the right way to follow, there are maps, information signs about the vegetation and the correct way to look after the habitat. Don't forget to get to the top, that will be the goal, it is really worth contemplating the views of the waterfall and Broto.
