From March 27 you can walk these steps that hang directly from the walls of the gorge
We put the sensation of vertigo in on mode, we activate the spirit ready for adventure and we enjoy that adrenaline rush before doing something that excites us and scares us in equal parts. All this to launch us to travel the footbridges of panticosa that open their doors to the public this March 27th.
We are talking about catwalks that, hanging from the wall of the gorge, add about 800 meters long and save about 160 meters of unevenness among landscapes that leave your mouth open: a steep ravine at your feet, the murmur of the water of the Caldarés river flowing from pool to pool 25 meters below, huge rocks dominating everything and, in the background, the promise of even more spectacular views.

And it is that, at the end of the catwalks, there is the possibility of continuing to the O Calvé viewpoint from which to contemplate the beauty of Panticosa and the image that the mountains of the area make up. You get there after passing through the remains of Line P, two bunkers built after the Civil War. And from there you also return to Panticosa and the car park from which this whole adventure began.
