Probably one of the most beautiful areas I visited lately and deserves to be a protected area. Because of that a fair bit of warning: starting point is not accessible by car between 08:00 and 17:00. You have to park somewhere following the road left from the entrance and either walk around 3 km (there's a shortcut through the forest, check the map) or take an unreasonably expensive bus (4 EUR for 5 min of driving).
Once you get there, you will see amazing views on three lakes one below the other surrounded by breathtaking mountains. If you're lucky, you might see Lamas freely roaming around.
On the last and the smallest lake takes you to the hut where you will rest once you get down from the summit and you will start to have a better picture of what kind of climbing is in front of you, because via ferrata is starting shortly.
Near the beginning of via ferrata you have a testing sections for each difficulty you will encounter (A to D). Please, take those seriously and try all of them. Even though the difficulty of this via ferrata is officially C/D, due to a lot of vertical climbs, it seems harder than that. Last difficult part has an overhang with a bit of a difficult approach and for me this is at least D difficulty. So, if you have problems with those testing sections, turn back and take the normal path to the summit.
Otherwise, you will have really interesting via ferrata that takes a bit more strength than expected, but the view and exposure are breathtaking.
