Level 2: Advanced Via Ferrata

Advanced Via ferrata (Level 2) in Sierra de Guara and Pyrenees

 Description

Level 2 Via Ferratas usually involve scaling to greater heights. From a technical perspective they include longer vertical sections, which means a greater number of steps and a heightened sense of exposure. There will be moments when you will have an abyss at your feet.

The scenery is spectacular.

Advanced Via Ferrata. Requirements

  • It is essential not to suffer from vertigo. It is recommended to have previously experienced the sensation of hanging from a wall, by doing a Level 1 route or a day’s climbing beforehand.
  • Since Level 2 routes are more sustained, participants need enough strength and resistance to hold onto the metal runged steps for longer stretches.

Location: Via Ferratas in the Sierra de Guara

  • The Espolón de la Virgen Via Ferrata (Rodellar) is found in the heart of the Sierra de Guara above one of the most emblematic canyons in the area, the Mascún Canyon. The summit of this route is crowned with a strategically placed shrine and incredible panoramic views over the Sierra. It is possible to descend via a dry canyon (optional), which provides the opportunity to end the day abseiling.
  • Another similar route is in Sesué, in the Benasque Valley. The only inconvenience is the length of the journey to get there. (1h30’)
