Activity description

Explore La Hermida Via Ferrata and the thrill of climbing as you go up the mountain in Cantabria. You will spend a day full of emotions and adrenaline.

The tiny village of La Hermida, just 16 km from Potes is home to one of the most amazing via Ferratas of the Cantabria region. It is located in the area of "Picos de Europa".

This via Ferrata is in great shape and has iron holds all along the side of the mountain. The route goes up the mountain at almost all times which allows you amazing panoramic views from up top! As you explore Los Llanos, you'll experience what any rock climber experience but in a slightly less extreme way!

One of the reasons this via Ferrata is so exciting is because, at a certain point, you'll be able to choose three different options. The first one goes through a route similar to the first segment of the via Ferrata which you've already experienced. The second one will require you to walk over a Tibetan bridge that will test your balance and courage! The third option is reserved only for experts since it required some skill level and good physical shape.
