Ferrata Sacra di San Michele

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The first escape route where you can choose whether to continue the via Ferrata heading towards the Tibetan Bridge, or take the path towards San Pietro and go down to S. Ambrogio

714 m

Bring water, especially on fine days, because the pier is exposed to the sun (and there are no fountains on the route). It is possible to stop halfway along the route (shortly after the Tibetan bridge) in a well-shaded clearing.

End of the Carlo Giorda Via Ferrata (Sacra di San Michele)

🚨You are supposed to have climbing equipment to hike behind the Abby. We didn’t know and went down the route backwards, unprepared.

View of Sacra di San Michele

Highlight • Viewpoint

A grand 13th-century abbey, with walls as strong as the faith of its founders, evocative for its location and history, it's definitely worth a visit.
