Description

Context The Sorrosal via ferrata is located in Broto, Huesca, within the Aragonese Pyrenees, just meters from the National Park of Ordesa and Monte Perdido. This 800-meter route ascends alongside the Sorrosal waterfall, offering a high-altitude alpine environment with dramatic rock formations and continuous flowing water. The route combines technical elements such as hanging bridges and fixed steel ladders with a moderate difficulty level (K3), providing a balanced challenge for intermediate climbers.

The Experience After equipping with helmet, harness, and energy-dissipating device, you begin the guided ascent, listening to the constant, refreshing sound of the waterfall. You cross a hanging bridge suspended above the ravine, feeling the metallic vibration under your hands and the natural rough texture of the rock. Next, you climb five fixed steel ladders leading to the small cave known as La Mina, adding both technical and sensory variety to the journey. The full activity lasts approximately 2.5 hours and concludes with a guided descent back to Broto.

For Whom This via ferrata is suitable for individuals with moderate physical fitness and no fear of heights, including families with children aged 10 and older, and beginners seeking a moderate challenge with professional guidance. Not recommended for people with limited mobility or fear of heights.

Local Context Broto is a mountain village with a strong alpine tradition, serving as a gateway to the National Park of Ordesa and Monte Perdido. The local community maintains a deep connection to the mountain and the Ara River, where the via ferrata is seamlessly integrated into a landscape that blends natural beauty with Pirenaic cultural heritage.
