In this video, I climbed the Piz Trovat 2 Via Ferrata, a Variant that is considered the hardest Via Ferrata in Switzerland. Part of what makes this hike special is its proximity to the Vadret Glacier and the View of Piz Palü in the Background. When I did the Climb in October 2023, the weather was not exactly perfect, but the fog and changing cloud covers created a very special atmosphere. I try to capture this mood in the video as best as I can.
Considering doing this Via Ferrata, here is the official descrpition:
“Piz Trovat 2 is a via ferrata for experts: it is located on very difficult (K5) to extremely difficult (K6) terrain and therefore requires strong upper arms, nerves of steel and excellent physical fitness. This route branches off after the Cambrena section, shortly before the rope bridge. The descent on the stone slabs is the easiest part: after that, the difficultly level increases steadily. One of the highlights of the route is the 35-metre-long Tyrolean traverse. Afterwards, there is a long transverse section that reveals a fabulous panoramic view of the Bernina range. The final challenge is tackling the crux section with its longer overhanging sections (up to 30 metres!) at the biceps wall, which will test your mountaineering skills to the limit.“

That's hard and so much effort I can't believe that you have shorgest legs and hand with patience for climbing rocks and even the slippery part

[@krzysztof2463]

Obserwuje Cie od dłuższego czasu. Jestem pod wrażeniem. Chodzę po górach od wielu lat ale nigdy nie spróbowałem via ferrata. Życzę Ci powodzenia w zdobywaniu kolejnych wyzwań, szczytów.
