    • Approximately 4–5 hours

    • Certified tour guide.

    • Harness, heat shield, gloves, and helmet.

    • Liability and Accident Insurance.

    • Safety equipment provided by the guide (ropes, carabiners, etc.)

    • We should look for hiking boots or trail running shoes designed for light trekking or trail running. They should offer good protection and excellent traction.

    • You should wear long hiking pants that are comfortable, breathable, and have special reinforcements to protect against abrasion.

    • An essential item for maintaining body heat and keeping your skin dry.

    • An essential item of clothing for protection against the wind you may encounter in high mountain areas.

    • Even if we’re well-protected by the clothes we’re wearing, we should still apply SPF 30 or higher sunscreen to all exposed skin to prevent sunburn, which becomes more severe the higher we climb.

    • Sunglasses. They’re essential for protecting us from the sun. They don’t protect our eyes from small stones and twigs we might encounter on the via ferrata.

    • Be sure to bring water to stay hydrated, as this activity takes place in good weather and there are no water fountains at the location.

    • We’ll meet at the heavy-duty vehicle parking lot in the town of La Hermida, where a guide from our El Portal de Picos team will be waiting for you. We’ll hand out the equipment and begin the via ferrata.
