Via ferrata Rio Ruzza

New ferrata at Ballino Pass two minutes away from Lake Tenno.



Request more info  

The bucolic and fascinating Ballino pass which divides the well known Lake Tenno from the Fiavè plateau once again brings to us amazing sensations thanks to the new ferrata which runs up the rock faces of Rio Ruzza waterfall.  

A short approach walk. which starts from the village of Ballino leads us across green meadows and through luxuriant beech trees to the base of the Rio Ruzza waterfall. This is where the intriguing ascent begins which has been perfectly set up with steps, cables and three breathtaking Tibetan bridges which allow us to test and alternate  technique and strength along the two sides of the waterfall.

A few exposed moves make it feel as if you are about to touch the water which impetuously animates the waterfall.

This ascent is not long but thanks to its technical effort and its striking and special surroundings is very exciting, giving us an adventure which ranges from the fable like and rural landscape  of Ballino Pass to the unexpected mountaineering adventure...

Via ferrata Rio Ruzza itinerary:

Brand new via Ferrata at passo del Ballino which from straight away has attracted great interest and curiosity because it results, in fact, exclusive for its special identity: it runs parallel to a spectacular waterfall and through a series of steps and metal pegs the hiker has the feeling of being immersed in a column of water originating from rio Sajant. An opportunity which will be remembered and appreciated especially during the hotter summer days!
