The Ponoig Via Ferrata has an approximate length of 230 meters and its difficulty is K4. It is quite vertical, so it is ideal to have covered something else that is less difficult. Even so, it is not essential, since with us it is suitable for those who are also starting out in this daring sport. The route of the Ponoig Via Ferrata is divided into two well-differentiated sections, although both vertical. As soon as you start climbing you will realize how many staples you need to grab to get to the top. They are quite close together, so verticality is more impressive than difficult.

It provides a great feeling of height, despite not having too many dynamic elements, such as hanging bridges, handrails or hinges.
