Before you climb
Technical grade not supplied — check the original route guide.
A protected climb, not an ordinary walk. Bring appropriate ferrata equipment, including a helmet, harness and energy-absorbing ferrata set, and know how to use it.
Check weather, closures, approach and descent with the local operator or route guide. This map is not a climbing topo or a guarantee of safety. Follow the marked direction; do not reverse a ferrata based on the map.
Keep your hands free while climbing. Use your phone only at a secure stopping place.

The long D-grade ascent overlooks the lake, with an optional D/E cave via ferrata beyond it. The descent is exposed too. Allow a full day and bring experience and complete climbing equipment; attempt the cave extension only with ample energy and time remaining. Difficulty estimated from terrain and route metrics: demanding. Technical grade from the source: D/D/E.
