Via Ferrata Signora delle Acque

The Via Ferrata Signora delle Acque — also known as the Cascata Sajant ferrata — is a spectacular waterfall adventure in the Lake Garda region, located just a short drive from Arco.

The route follows the Sajant waterfall through a narrow canyon, combining steep ladders, airy traverses and suspended footbridges. The protection is excellent, allowing climbers to enjoy the exposure and focus on the unique setting: cascading water, dense forest, and rocky terraces typical of the Lake Garda region.
