The Rio Sallagoni via Ferrata is located near Arco and runs along the canyon that bounds the Drena castle fortress. This route is easy, suitable for beginners and not too long, but so fascinating that you will enjoy it even if you already have some via ferrata experience.
Inside this picturesque gorge, surrounded by ferns and a few small waterfalls, two Tibetan bridges, suspended cables and walkways inside the stream bed await us. The trail is almost always shaded and perfect in summer during the hottest days.
This via ferrata is also suitable for children and families, but given the distance between the hand and foot metal cable, it is not recommended for children under 12 years of age with a height of less than 1.40 meters.
