Review of the Route
Introduction:
The Harry Potter Ferrata is a ferrata specifically designed to bring children closer to this type of trip, allowing the use of equipment and progression techniques in an easy and protected environment.
Starting location:
The starting point is La Trinité near the Jolanda ski lifts. You park in the large parking lot at the Jolanda hotel.
Directions for Google Maps available here.
Approach:
From the car park, cross the bridge over the Lys stream on the right bank. On the right side of the bridge you can see a large boulder around children's games. This boulder will be the object of our brief and ferrata education (5 'from the parking lot).
Via Ferrata:
The Harry Potter Ferrata begins with a climb up a stepped slab leaning to the right, then tackles a short horizontal traverse and climbs up a short rocky prominence. Thus we come to a short bridge with two suspended ropes with which we reach a short vertical wall with metal brackets and reach the end of the short via ferrata (10 'from the start - 15' from the parking lot).
At the top there is the possibility through a tyrolienne to go down to the valley.
Descent:
From the top of the boulder it wanders and descends to the opposite side (15 'from the end of the ferrata - 30' in total)
Notes:
This is an ideal via ferrata for children (and even adults with little mountain experience) to try a first ferrata.
To descend the tyrolenne you must use a type of pulley type Petzl Tandem Speed or the CT Duetto.
Opportunities:
In the case of children you can proceed to the neighbor Via Ferrata of the Children in Grassoney Saint Jean downstream. In the case of adults we have started to become familiar with this type of itinerary, a possible next step is the Via Ferrata Covarey or the Ferrata Josè Angster.

20/04/2022 at 12:53Idea molto carina per far avvicinare i bambini al mondo della roccia.
Una ferrata a tutti gli effetti ma in formato mignon, si percorre in appena pochi minuti ed è senza difficoltà pur mantenendo uno spirito “avventuroso” per i più piccoli grazie ad un breve ponte delle scimmie e un mini tratto in lieve strapiombo. Non abbiamo fatto la tirolienne in quanto sprovvisti di carrucola ma si scende con un brevissimo sentierino sulla destra.
Sulla stessa parete sono attrezzate anche 3 vie di arrampicata con prese di plastica sulla roccia sempre per i più piccoli e neofiti.
