Events Via ferrata Piz Trovat I
300 meters elevation gain, 500 steps, 600 meters of wire ropes, and an airy suspension bridge. An incredible scenery of ice and rock accompanies you!
Details
Description
The ascent is technically and physically easy (K1) to fairly difficult (K3). After the steep starting ladder, an easy climb on rather flat rock follows at the NW pillar. After the relaxing Cambrena band, you cross the gorge via the suspension bridge. From the almost vertical headwall, enjoy a spectacular view down to the Pers Glacier and reach the summit of Piz Trovat at 3146 meters above sea level via simple rock slabs.
Approach: By cable car you reach 2978 meters. From the mountain station, a small path leads down in about 20 minutes to the start of the via ferrata Piz Trovat I + II.
Descent: The descent takes place via the northeast ridge across rough terrain and scree. Due to some fairly steep sections, surefootedness should be given. Following the marking towards the Berghaus Diavolezza, you arrive at its sun terrace, inviting you to stay a while.
