Beautiful and quite long via ferrata without excessive difficulties. The lower section is simpler and a bit slimmed down. Nice and consistent difficulty at the top and largely metal-free (apart from a few stirrup sections), so it's also very nice to free climb. There is a topo at bergsteiger.com

The Pisciadu via ferrata is great - therefore also a classic, which means you are never alone ...
In between there is a waterfall, which you can also go to after the first (easier) half, have a snack, cool off and watch the ants on the iron rope in a relaxed manner. You can also walk to the hut from here.
The 2nd part of the via ferrata is then a grade heavier (Grade III) than the first, but very rewarding. There are plenty of views and depths. And of course at the end is the famous suspension bridge over a 10 m wide and approx. 300 m deep gorge.
The Pisciadu hut is also really great: location, accommodation and the hosts - all 5 stars!

For the brave there is a great suspension bridge in dizzying heights. For the discontent too, unless you want it all the way back :)
