FERRATA SASSE - Lago d'Idro

JORDAN9. 08. 2017 12:54:22

The starting point of this ferrata is the settlement Baitoni on the north of Lago d'Idro lake or the place Vesta on the eastern side of the lake. We two went from Baitoni where we parked before the autocamp first along the path by the lake towards the landing pier and already immediately we ran into signs which directed us uphill. After the ascent we came to the road where the signposts directed us right and already soon left onto the Kontrabbandieri path. On this path which is on all steep crossings secured with a steel cable we go towards Vesta quarry. Signposts later after the descent direct us right towards the entrance-descent to the ferrata. From the starting point to the entrance is cca 1h. Interesting ferrata which runs right by the lake and later on slopes above the lake. For variety they added a hanging bridge. Difficulty of the ferrata by my estimate at the hardest places B/C. Hardest is the entrance or descent to the lake in the initial part. Special features are three emergency exits where you call 118 and they come to pick you up by boat. Time for the ferrata is cca 2h. We return by the path to the fork where the path to Kontrabbandieri branches off.
