Via ferrata del Limbo is in
Oropa valley, 12 Km. from Biella.
The easiest way of reaching the starting point is to take the cableway
Oropa-Lago del Mucrone; from the upper station, follow the signs which
lead down along a ski slope; when you see a large board on your right,
follow the roads which winds up in a former open-cast mine; at the third
hairpin bend, leave the road and follow the footpath going slightly down.
Once you reached an abandoned chalet, bear right and keep going, until
you come at the base of the climbing paths.
The time required for the approach
is approx. 1 hour 15 min.

Even if this path is very easy
and ideal for beginners, please keep in mind some safety directions:
- The use of a helmet, parbuckle,
snap-hooks and ropes with a security device in order to avoid shocks
in case of fall, is compulsory.
- It is forbidden to use
the "ferrata" for the way down. The return will be along the
marked footpath.
- If you are approaching
a "ferrata" for the first time, there must be someone expert
to teach you the basics.
