Vriament ça vaut le coup de la faire après avoir fait celle de RACON. Pour la rejoindre à l’arrivée de RACON se diriger vers la gauche autant que possible. Ensuite c’est pas trop difficile. On peut faire sans les chaînes pour rendre le parcours un peu plus intense mais sinon c’est très sympa. On atteint un pic rocheux aussi large que le corps mais sans difficulté je la classe AD car il faut un peu de bras mais accessible. À ne pas manquer et à l’arrivée il est possible de rejoindre le mirador à pied en 30 min seulement. À faire si vous ne voulez pas faire une 3e VF qui y monte aussi. Pour redescendre il faut sortir du complexe et prendre un chemin à droite dans les sapins. Ça descend assez raide dans la roche striée mais en bas on peut aller se mouiller sous la petite cascade pour se rafraîchir. Traverser la route et prendre la voie qui descend et vous amène dans le village à votre parking - car impossible de se garer gratuitement en Andorre. J’ai payé 4,50e pour 3h15 de temps à tout faire ce 7/9/26

A pleasant, even magical, via ferrata. Difficult to find. We decided to do the Via Ferrata del Racons to get there. Naturally, it seemed easy after doing the one from Racons. Tibetan bridge and another bridge resembling a monkey bridge. Climbing the chimney was the most challenging part for me. Not many ladders, lots of chains. You need strong arm muscles. Magnificent views... always a joy 🙏🤗
