El Escuacho Via Ferrata from Escarrilla

Description

Experience the El Escuacho Via Ferrata, an aerial mountain route located in Escarrilla, in the heart of the Tena Valley. This adventure activity leads across vertical rock walls, suspension bridges and equipped climbing sections while offering panoramic views over the Pyrenean landscape and the village below.

The via ferrata is divided into two clearly differentiated sections. The first, graded K3, climbs approximately 120 metres of vertical wall featuring exposed passages and technical sections that require concentration throughout the ascent. The second part, graded K4, is known for its hanging bridges and sustained overhangs, especially towards the end of the route.

The activity takes place with a professional mountain guide and does not require previous experience, although participants should feel comfortable with heights and physically demanding sections. The short approach and quick return make it possible to spend most of the experience enjoying the route itself and the surrounding scenery.

The sensation of height above the valley, the movement of the hanging bridges and the exposed rock sections create an energetic mountain adventure full of excitement.
