    Ferrata della Regina

    The Ferrata della Regina runs a wide section of the cenges that characterize the relief of Su Monte, near Monteleone Rocca Doria, south of Sassari and close to Lake Temo. It is widely equipped with brackets, which makes it technically not difficult, but exposed along wide stretches and embellished by an adrenaline-free Tibetan bridge.

    ▲Approach

    The starting point is on the Strada Panoramica Subramonte that runs around Monteleone Rocca Doria: along the road you can see a wooden basin with information on the street, where you park. Starting point on Google Maps. From the dirt road you continue to a sign that indicates a path downhill towards the ferrata; you descend a few steps, turn right and, always downhill, you arrive under a rocky roof and then under a majestic wall; between climbs you reach a spring to the attack, signaled by a wooden basin (20' from the car).

    ▲The path

    The attack is very special: a network of wires that goes up like a staircase. On the top you climb the vertical wall on brackets, in slight overhanging, gaining altitude quickly; the cable turns left and on brackets you continue horizontally by wandering an exposed edge. After finishing the horizontal, the cable starts vertically, always with abundant brackets, until a passage in light overhanging that deposits on a wide census partly protected. Continuing on the nod, overlooking the artificial lake and the dam, you will arrive at a crossroads: on the left the escape route, straight the continuation. Continue on the path up to a sign that indicates on the left a staircase with metal armor to be descended; from the underside it continues horizontally up to a series of downhill cambres, with the suspended bridge already visible below. Cross the Tibetan bridge with 3 ropes, cross a long horizontal census and go up a vertical wall equipped with cambre; finally, to the right, a census under a roof and a last stretch down close the road close to the attack (1h 15' from the attack, 1h 30' total).

    ▲Character and difficulty

    The brackets along all the walls reduce the technical difficulty; the commitment comes from the exhibition, present for large sections, and from the Tibetan bridge (about 15-20 m).

    ⚠ Itinerary: helmet and ironing set indispensable. An escape route allows you to stop halfway.
    ▲Period and safety

    At low altitude and in mild climate, it is possible to travel most of the year; to avoid with wet rock and in the warmest hours of summer.

    ▲Discipline

    You follow the return path that takes you short on the approach path and then uphill to the car (20' from the end, 1h 50' total).
