Make sure you start your return journey in good time in case the weather changes and there is a risk of rain or thunderstorms. Some sections can then become tricky. When we started to back off, we first got into light rain and then there was a near threat of a thunderstorm.

Hiking

At this point you should not be afraid of heights. The via ferrata does not require a climbing harness. If it rains or snows it will be very slippery, so it is better to take the alternative ascent or descent.
