Follow the footpath from the top of the Resgia Via Ferrata uphill towards Alp Languard, but turn off rightwards into a small valley (signposted) below the cliff band. Ascend over a grassy slope up to the start. Then it's down to business: short overhanging walls alternate with technical, airy traverses. The not-so-fit should take a good rest at a good spot before the wooden balance beam. A shaky three-rope bridge may strain the nerves, and the final overhang will finish your arms.
