What to expect

The Stairway to Heaven, despite being classified as K4 (due to the exposure of the itinerary), is considered an initiation route. We will meet in the parking lot of the town of La Hermida (the time will be indicated and the location will be sent to those interested). Once everyone is together, we will equip ourselves in the same parking lot and the guide will proceed to give a brief explanation of the activity. We have an approach route on foot of about 10 minutes until we reach the first staples. Next, we will go up a few meters and we will find the small monkey bridge that leads to the Stairway to Heaven. At the end of the stairs, we will have a brief route of staples that takes us to the return path, about 15 minutes on foot to the town. A simple and short tour full of emotion and adrenaline! Of course, not suitable for vertiginous.
