It is not a route for beginners, nor is it advisable to do it with children, but its good equipment means that it can be done by almost anyone in a short time.\u00a0<strong>physically fit and willing to enjoy the feeling of emptiness underfoot.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The via ferrata, which<strong>\u00a0only one person may travel on each section.<\/strong>\u00a0cableway or bridge, it has a difference in level of 240 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kI6Slq4wW_U\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get there <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the N-260 leaving\u00a0<strong>from A\u00ednsa in the direction of Campo,<\/strong>\u00a0Cross the municipality of Samper and continue in the direction of Foradada del Toscar. One kilometre before reaching the village turn left, there is a signpost at the lances that you will see on your right. From there you can continue along the dirt track - only suitable for off-road vehicles - to an esplanade delimited with stones, or leave the car at the beginning of the track and continue on foot - about 20 minutes' walk - until you reach the signpost for the\u00a0<strong>via ferrata<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tour <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first section of the via ferrata, which takes about an hour, is the most vertical and the steepest. Then comes a second section in which you have to descend part of what you have climbed, cross a\u00a0<strong>Nepalese bridge<\/strong>\u00a0and keep on climbing, going through a\u00a0<strong>succession of stapled walls<\/strong>\u00a0and stretches between trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to take a break you can do it in a small\u00a0<strong>flat space, a natural ledge<\/strong>\u00a0with a capacity for three people, where you can enjoy the views, the\u00a0<strong>Pe\u00f1a Monta\u00f1esa<\/strong>\u00a0and the surroundings of A\u00ednsa, before continuing uphill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have reached the summit it is time to climb up, a task that can be more difficult than the climb itself, as sometimes you can't see where to put your feet and the distance between clamps can force you to stretch your arms a lot. At the back of the mallo we come across the second\u00a0<strong>suspension bridge<\/strong>\u00a0of the route, which is somewhat easier to cross than the Nepalese route and which you can see in this photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way back requires special attention, as there is quite a steep slope and the terrain can be slippery, although there are several\u00a0<strong>sections equipped with ropes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" Required equipment &quot; (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/en\/vias-ferratas-basic-and-initiation-material\/\" target=\"_blank\">Necessary equipment \"<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A<strong>\u00a0via ferrata<\/strong>\u00a0is a climbing route equipped with\u00a0<strong>nails, staples, handrails, chains, suspension bridges or zip wires, allowing easy access, always anchored to the safety cable.<\/strong>The new climbing aid will help you to reach areas that would otherwise be reserved exclusively for expert climbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do a via ferrata it is\u00a0<strong>mandatory to wear helmet, harness and energy dissipater<\/strong>\u00a0-a rope that passes through a metal plate with holes in it, which gradually decreases the force of the impact in the event of a fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also advisable to bring water - you can get very hot, even in winter,\u00a0<strong>gloves, trekking boots and dynamic rope<\/strong>There are overpasses, very exposed areas and the possibility of rocks falling.
