Description

Context The via ferrata in Callosa de Segura is located in the Sierra de Callosa, in the province of Alicante, set within a rugged, rocky landscape featuring dramatic vertical formations and sweeping views over the lower Segura Valley. The route is divided into two sections: K3, ideal for beginners and families, and K5, designed for experienced climbers. The access trail is clearly marked from the parking area of the Natural Site of Cueva Ahumada, just a 15-minute walk away.

The Experience Equipped with a harness and helmet, you’ll navigate along steel anchors, cables, and suspended bridges that swing between 21 and 33 meters above the ground, feeling the wind and hearing the metallic echo of the chains. The K3 section includes wooden bridges and safety chains for a secure introduction, while K5 presents steep drops and a demanding vertical ascent of over 100 meters to the summit of the Polígono, where panoramic views open up across the valley.

For Whom Perfect for families with children aged 6 and up on the K3 route, and for experienced climbers on the K5 route. Not recommended for individuals with severe vertigo or poor physical fitness. The guide adjusts the activity to the group’s skill level and provides continuous support throughout.
