Context
The Sacs via ferrata lies in the Benasque Valley, within the Natural Park of Posets-Maladeta, a protected area in Aragon featuring peaks up to 3,375 meters. This 770-meter equipped route climbs 350 meters in elevation, offering a technical progression from gentle sections to exposed overhangs. The wind carries scents of thyme and pine, accompanying your ascent through this alpine landscape.
The Experience
Under the guidance of a certified expert, you’ll navigate three distinct sections combining pitons, cables, and Tibetan bridges. Begin with less vertical terrain to acclimate, then face athletic ledges and overhangs demanding strength and precision. Feel the rough texture of limestone rock and the cool touch of metal on your hands as you enjoy sweeping views across the Pyrenees.
For Whom
This activity suits individuals in good physical condition with no fear of heights, from children aged 6 and up (on the beginner route) to adults with prior via ferrata experience. Not recommended for those with severe vertigo, heart conditions, or limited mobility.
