Details
Description
The Piz Trovat II is a via ferrata for “cracks,” located in very (K5) to extremely (K6) difficult terrain. Strong upper arms, solid nerves, and very good fitness are required. The junction follows after the Cambrena ledge. Then the route becomes steadily more demanding. The first highlight is the 35-meter-long zip line. Afterwards, the long traverse offers a sensational panoramic view of the Bernina massif. Finally, at the key section, longer overhanging parts (up to 30 meters!) in the biceps wall require mountaineering skill.
ACCESS: Take the cable car up to 2978 meters. From the mountain station, a small path leads down in about 20 minutes to the start of the Piz Trovat I + II via ferratas.
DESCENT: The descent goes via the northeast ridge over rugged terrain and scree. Due to some rather steep sections, surefootedness should be given. Following the markings towards the Berghaus Diavolezza, you reach its sun terrace inviting you to linger.
