A classic and well-known equipped alpine route on Monte Agner's south face. It is a serious mountain ferrata rather than a hiking trail, with long exposed sections and sustained steepness. The route is typically climbed with via ferrata gear and a helmet. Although the ironwork reduces the technical difficulty, the exposure and mountain character remain significant. Conditions can be demanding in wet weather or with lingering snow. It is one of the established documented ways to reach the summit of Monte Agner.
