REDOVAN GUIDED TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Climb the Vertical Spine of Redován: Two Routes, One Limestone Ridge
A guided via ferrata on the Sierra de Callosa with two distinct sections (K2 family and K4 sport) that lets you choose a 2.5- or 4-hour experience suited to differing abilities.
Climb the Vertical Spine of Redován: Two Routes, One Limestone Ridge.
Set against the eastern flank of the Sierra de Callosa, the Vía Ferrata de Redován is a sharply vertical limestone itinerary—built in 2018 and promoted by the municipality—that offers two clearly defined tramos: a family-friendly K2 and a more demanding K4 sport section. Guided by Alicante Aventura, the route threads iron staples, suspension bridges and exposed cornices for sustained vertical movement and memorable viewpoints.

Two Tramos: K2 for families, K4 for challengers
The via ferrata is divided into a gentler K2 family section—designed to chain vertical and horizontal pathing with closely spaced iron rungs—and a tougher K4 sport section featuring overhanging grapas, exposed cornices and technical obstacles for climbers wanting an adrenaline push.
Bridges, staircases and the hinge: varied climbing features
Expect multiple suspension bridges (including a 25‑metre span on the family tramo and longer 40‑metre bridges on the sport tramo), a tibetan‑style bridge, the ‘paso de la bisagra’ and a stepped ladder section—features that punctuate the climb and create varied technical challenges.
Long, vertical exposure with high viewpoints
Constructed along the Sierra de Callosa, the ferrata is one of the longest in the province (noted as the second longest in Alicante after Callosa del Segura) and offers sustained exposure, including a viewpoint at roughly 60 metres and an exposed hinge passage rising to about 90 metres above the ground.
What the day feels like
What the route feels like
The itinerary moves as a sequence of vertical bouts and suspended traverses: short climbs on iron rungs open onto suspension bridges that leave you dangling over a barranco, followed by ramps with handrails and tibetan‑style crossings. The family tramo compacts the experience into about an hour of accessible vertical and horizontal passage, while the sport tramo extends into sustained overhangs, an inverted ladder, long hanging bridges and high cornices that culminate in airy viewpoints.
