Description

Context The Bolón via ferrata in the Sierra de Bolón of Elda (Alicante) offers a route over 1,000 meters long, combining three consecutive sections with difficulty levels K1, K2, and K3. This natural area stands out for its 130-meter zip line—the longest in the Valencian Community—and for integrating archaeological elements and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the city. Wind brushes against the rock as you progress along routes equipped with cables and hanging bridges.

The Experience The journey begins at the Elda viewpoint, where participants are fitted with harnesses and helmets before crossing a 23-meter Nepalese-style bridge offering sweeping panoramic views. The route then moves into the K1 beginner section, suitable for first-timers, with hands-on contact with the rough texture of the rock. Next, a 10-meter Tibetan-style bridge challenges balance and focus, building controlled adrenaline. More experienced climbers can tackle rappels and K3 sections. The adventure concludes with a smooth glide down the Vicente Soler zip line, feeling speed and fresh air while surveying the landscape. The activity ends with a rest break at the viewpoint.
