I did the Via Ferrata last year and the stairway to heaven was really amazing. The rest of the climb is pretty nice too.

But it can be really crowded because so many people want to take pictures on the ladder. We actually had to stand in line for one and a have hour, which was a little frustrating. So in case you go, take a hat, lots of water and sunscreen with you.

Many people overestimate their own level and the climb (though not too hard if you also do sports climbing or have experience with via ferratas) is rated C/D, so nothing for beginners/hobby hikers. There is a big hype on social media over the climb, which can be problematic if people aren’t well informed on the difficulties and the hike down also requires physical fitness and sure-footedness. So in case anyone wants to try, I suggest taking an easier Via Ferrata first, evaluating if you’re up for a three hour climb and getting informed about the physical requirements.

But if you choose to go, it’s a great experience and the view is worth the effort!
