Made this via ferrata mid-June, and only the south path was doable. The others were not managable because of snow. Recommend going up early in the morning since clouds and fog usually come around noon time. We still had some snow, and it took us 7 hours in total

Ridiculously beautiful views at the top with lots of animals on the way. The route can get slightly challenging when coming down but overall very doable. Via Ferrara is clearly very well maintained and fun to climb. 10/10 experience, not crowded at all.

Lived it here. We did the via ferrata. Not to hard once you have some fitness. Would recommend getting the harness and clips so parts you need it. We spend the day up there and it was worth every minute

Great via Ferrata - would recommend making the approach clockwise to avoid the long walk up the scree. Doable alongside the secada viewpoint in one day, with the cable car up via col raiser
