The bridge is part of the Via Ferrata climb. The entire climb is 3.5 to 5 hours and it gains 1085 in elevation. Anyone can take the climb as long as they’re in good physical shape and at least 13 years old.

The name Via Ferrata is Italian for iron road. There’s a protected climbing route in the Alps with the same name. It’s basically a climbing route with a steel cable that runs along the route. Climbers attach themselves to the cable so they don’t fall.
Jessi!
Via Ferrata is open year round, weather permitting. It attracts thousands of climbers each year.
