Before you climb
Ferrata grade · C/D
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 narrow ledge high above the lake includes long unprotected sections. A standard via ferrata set alone is insufficient; the source describes the need for personal rope protection and climbing skills. This is for experienced climbers, not a regular hike or continuously protected ferrata. Difficulty estimated from terrain and route metrics: demanding. Technical grade from the source: C/D.
