A via ferrata along the Sajant waterfall of the Rio Ruzza. The route is suitable for trained and experienced hikers.

This via ferrata is short but absolutely spectacular. It is the classic modern via ferrata where, beyond following the weak points of the wall, attention is focused on the most spectacular passages sometimes creating new climbs. It is the only via ferrata not visible from the valley and can only be seen once you reach the starting point. It climbs along the canyon of the Rio Ruzza waterfall on the right side of the Ballino Valley.

After a pleasant walk through the woods, you will soon hear the sound of flowing water and, a little further, you will find the high wall carved by the waterfall. This via ferrata, overhanging and athletic, sometimes climbs to the left and then moves to the right of the waterfall, connected by aerial and photogenic suspension bridges. After about an hour you reach the top where a forest path leads you back down to Ballino.

Not suitable for beginners or children (even experienced climbers must exercise caution because in some sections the safety cable is a bit too far for smaller children).

Best period April-November (avoid if there is snow on the slopes above or ice that can fall from the waterfall)

Further information and useful links
Via ferratas are not a joke – ropes, ladders, and dizzying views require the right equipment and skill. Trust our via ferrata specialists: alpine guides, rentals, and shops with everything needed for safe climbing.
