This route has features that may make it unsuitable for a first via ferrata: higher grade, exposure, sustained effort, route complexity, or incomplete safety data.
For a first route, use a Via ferrata set glossary definition
Via ferrata setTwo lanyards with an energy absorber made for via ferrata.A certified VF set is designed to reduce force in a fall on fixed cables.Do not substitute slings or ordinary climbing quickdraws for a VF set.Harness glossary definition
HarnessA climbing harness that connects you to the VF set.Use a properly fitted climbing harness compatible with your VF set and body size.Helmet glossary definition
HelmetHead protection for rockfall and impacts.A climbing helmet is strongly recommended on via ferratas because other parties, loose rock, or slips can create impact hazards.
K3: Steeper, more exposed, or more physical sections are likely. Users may choose to try a K3 for their first via ferrata, but VFOS does not mark K3 as beginner-friendly automatically.

The start is rather easy, leading over slabby rock steps to a vertical, 3 metre high ladder. Steep, but well secured, it continues, sometimes on artificial steps, before the route crosses a grass band rightwards to the first highlight: the two-cable bridge to the "Eagle's Nest". It leads sketchily over to a slightly overhanging pillar, which you climb on iron rungs, first right then, making a daring step, left of the edge. The crux can also be bypassed (at K3). Continue (less steep) along a rock rib (resting place with bench). On the upper edge of a mighty rock, clearly visible from the valley, the iron leads to the right where the second "Pièce de résistance" of the route, the steel net, awaits (route book). Stretched in front of a striking overhang; it can be climbed on both sides. After this artistic contribution, things continue more conventionally. Cross a gully to the so-called "black slab", which leads to a broad ledge. Some final, shorter rock steps lead to the top (ca. 2170 m, 1¾ hrs.). Take time to enjoy the beautiful view to the south towards the Bernina group. There's also a Ferrata on Piz Trovat.
