Description

Context The Sorrosal Waterfalls Ferrata is located in Broto, at the foot of the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park in the Huesca Pyrenees. This medium-difficulty (K3) route follows the Sorrosal Gorge, where an 80-meter waterfall dominates the landscape. The wind carries the scent of pine and moisture, while the constant sound of rushing water accompanies the climb.

The Experience Equipped with a harness, helmet, and rope-dissipator, you’ll progress along metal stairs anchored into the natural rock face, cross a hanging bridge with panoramic views of the valley and Broto, and pass through a small cave. The coolness of the waterfall spray and the textured grip of the metal handholds contrast with the raw rock. The full experience lasts between 2 and 4 hours, blending technical climbing with direct immersion in nature.

For Whom This ferrata is suitable for individuals with basic outdoor activity experience, children over 10 years old without acrophobia, and small groups seeking a guided adventure. It is not recommended for people with fear of heights, limited mobility, or those without moderate physical fitness.

Local Setting Broto is a mountain village with deep-rooted traditions and a gateway to the National Park. Locals preserve Pirenaic culture and transhumance practices, while nature tourism brings vitality to the community.
