Via ferrata de la Crête Sèche – BionazAD

A high-mountain outing in the Valpelline: from Ru, you walk up to the Crête Sèche hut (2,410 m), then the via ferrata climbs to a 3,058 m summit. Starting from Berrier saves about 50 min. A long day that requires good fitness; the hut and the Spataro bivouac (2,600 m) let you split it in two.
