From the lookout at the summit of Cingle Blanc, the view opens up across the Cadí, Puigmal, and the distant Pyrenees. The sound of wind through the rock and the rough texture of the limestone enhance the deep connection to the natural environment. For Whom This activity is suitable for participants over 12 years old with basic via ferrata or rock climbing experience, good physical fitness, and balance. Not recommended for those with acrophobia, limited mobility, or young children.
