🧗
What is a via ferrata?
A via ferrata is a mountain route equipped with metal ladders, rungs, pegs, hanging bridges and a continuous steel cable. The cable is your safety line: you clip onto it with the energy absorber to progress in complete safety without needing to know how to climb.
🪨
The Sorrosal flysch
The rock of the Sorrosal via ferrata is Pyrenean flysch — alternating layers of sandstone and shale that form unique geometric folds in Europe. While you climb, you can touch the geological history of the Pyrenees with your own hands.
🌊
The via ferrata in spring
In spring, before the footbridge over the Sorrosal river is installed, access is made via a zip line over the gorge waters. An exclusive element that makes the spring via ferrata an even more special experience. The waterfall runs full and furious — the best time to enjoy the spectacle.
🏊
Pools and the Ara river
The canyon zone of the Sorrosal gorge forms a succession of crystal-clear waterfalls and pools perfect for a summer dip. The route ends with views of the Ara river and the old town of Broto.

When does the Sorrosal via ferrata open and close?
The via ferrata usually opens in March-April and closes in November, subject to weather conditions and maintenance work. In winter it remains closed due to ice risk and post-thaw repairs. To confirm it is open call 662 954 303.
What is the Sorrosal via ferrata like in spring? What is the zip line?
In spring, before the footbridge over the Sorrosal river is installed, access is via a zip line over the gorge. The waterfall runs full with snowmelt and the spectacle is at its peak. An exclusive experience that doesn't exist at any other via ferrata in the Pyrenees. Check availability at 662 954 303.
What is the Sorrosal flysch and why is it special?
The Pyrenean flysch is the rock on which the Sorrosal via ferrata is built. It consists of alternating layers of sandstone and shale that form unique geometric folds, the result of the Pyrenees forming millions of years ago. The natural amphitheatre at the start of the via ferrata is considered one of the best accessible flysch examples in Spain.
Are there swimming pools near the Sorrosal via ferrata?
Yes. The Sorrosal stream forms a succession of waterfalls and pools of crystal-clear water in the canyon area of the ferrata. In summer it is possible to take a dip in some of them. The route ends with views of the Ara river and the old town of Broto — the perfect plan to round off the day.
What is a via ferrata and how does it work?
A via ferrata is a mountain route equipped with metal ladders, rungs, pegs, hanging bridges and a continuous steel cable to which you clip using an energy absorber. You don't need to know how to climb. The absorber takes the energy of any fall and keeps you safe at all times. With our certified guide you will learn to use it from the very first moment.
Is it the best via ferrata in the Pyrenees and Huesca?
The Via Ferrata del Sorrosal is rated as one of the most spectacular via ferratas in Huesca and the Aragonese Pyrenees and in all of Spain. Its unique combination of a waterfall over 100 metres high, geological flysch, a tunnel carved into the rock, a zip line in spring and a Tibetan bridge has no equivalent at any other via ferrata in the Pyrenees. Fitted out in 2004 with unique features: a 100+ metre waterfall, a rock tunnel, a spring zip line and a Tibetan bridge.
What is the Sorrosal waterfall?
The Sorrosal waterfall is one of the most impressive waterfalls in the Aragonese Pyrenees, located in Broto (Huesca). It has a drop of more than 100 metres and is the most spectacular element of the via ferrata: the route goes all the way around it, with sections where you climb practically inside the water.
Is it the best via ferrata in Huesca and the Pyrenees?
The Via Ferrata del Sorrosal is considered one of the most spectacular via ferratas in Huesca and the Aragonese Pyrenees. Its unique combination of waterfall, tunnel, hanging ladder and Tibetan bridge makes it different from any other via ferrata in the Pyrenees. It appears in the main Pyrenees via ferrata guides as an unmissable reference.
Can it be combined with a visit to Ordesa National Park?
Yes, it's the perfect combination. The Sorrosal via ferrata is just 10 minutes by car from Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park. Many visitors do the via ferrata in the morning and visit the Ordesa Valley, the Añisclo Canyon or the Escuaín Gorge in the afternoon. Ask us and we'll recommend the best route for your day.
