From the terrace of Berghaus Diavolezza (2973 m), follow the blue-signed, white-blue-white marked path across broken rock, rubble and scree down into the basin beneath Piz Trovat. A short final rise brings you to the via ferrata's entrance and information board at about 2880 m, roughly half an hour from the start.

The route begins steeply before easing into broken terrain, followed by a vertical ladder. Iron rungs lead up, first directly and then rightward along a ledge with continuous views over the Upper Engadine peaks. Where a rock band offers the branch-off to the harder Trovat II option, the main route descends briefly to a suspension bridge spanning a deep couloir. The crux headwall follows: a near-vertical pitch fully equipped with metal rungs and holds, demanding but well protected. Further sustained climbing on iron rungs with minimal rock contact leads to easier ground, finishing just left of the summit on Piz Trovat's scree-covered top. Climbers seeking more challenge can instead follow Trovat II, descending over slabs to a Tyrolienne crossing, a long traverse, and the very steep, strenuous "Bizeps Wall" before rejoining easier terrain to the summit.
