The via ferratas of the Sierra de Guara are a natural staircase to contemplate, like a luxury spectator, the large ravines that are hidden in this unique mountain formation in the Pyrenees of Huesca.

This type of adventure sport through ravines and rock walls is very suitable as an alternative to climbing, being more comfortable to do and with more variety.

Sections with metal stairs, rappelling, Tibetan bridges, climbing or hiking make up all the actions that the via ferrata will ask of you.
