Inizio ferrata del monte Contrario

Boris Turchik

The ferrata itself is amazing - good rock grip, beautiful route, long enough to enjoy it. Theyre are many issues around it though. First, even though the approach is clearly marked, it's quite overgrown so markers are easy to miss. If you find yourself lost, retrack to the latest marker and look around. Second, the lower part of the ferrata is cut in few places by rockfall - so pay attention and bring a helmet! But the biggest issue is the retreat trails - they are either unmarked or INSANELY overgrown by all sorts of stinging greenery, to the point when a simple 2-hour descent turns into a 5-hour roofing and bushwhacking. Bring trousers, you'll need them.
