Very irregular and decidedly challenging climb, especially in the initial kilometres which have steep gradients and, for over a kilometre, greater than 10%.

Beautiful but challenging hike! A steep climb and descent. Beautiful views of the Aosta Valley. Unfortunately, there are no food or drink options at the top in Bellun. You can refill your water bottles there, though.

One of the highlights of the Via Ferrata tour. There is a bypass available for someone who doesn't want to try but slow and steady it is an experience!
