Full description
Walk the most famous via ferrata in the Susa Valley!
In the company of a mountain guide, set off from Sant'Ambrogio di Torino and venture along a route characterised by paths, vertical walls and Tibetan bridges. After 5 hours, you will cross the finish line touching the outer walls of the famous Sacra di San Michele.
Applauding your feat will be the Susa Valley, the Melon Rock and the city of Turin in the distance!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before 09:00 at the meeting point in Sant'Ambrogio di Torino (TO). We will be welcomed by the mountain guide who will accompany us on this adventure!
Once all participants have gathered, theequipment will be handed over, followed by a 10-minute briefing during which the guide will provide us with all the information we need to carry out the activity.
Together we will reach the starting point of the via ferrata, which is a few minutes' walk away. Here the real adventure will begin: stretches of path, vertical stretches and an 80-metre-long Tibetan bridge will punctuate this experience; along the way we will enjoy the panoramic view of the Susa Valley, the Melone Rock and the city of Turin in the distance. We will cross the finish line in the presence of the Sacra di San Michele, whose walls we will be able to touch!
After a short lunch break (packed lunch, to be brought from home), we will set off on our return journey along the historic mule track once trodden by pilgrims, which connects the monastery to Sant'Ambrogio di Torino in just 30 minutes (4 km, 600 m difference in altitude).
We will then return to the meeting point. The via ferrata will last 5 hours. The total experience will last 6 hours.
