Comments: I have no idea when this officially closes, but weather wise it can easily be done into October. This route is clearly intended for the common tourist and is mostly on the easy side. I thought there were 2-3 spots that were slightly pumpy (mostly right at the beginning), but otherwise about 50% of it is pretty much walking on ledges. The two bridges are nice but the first is quite low and the second is almost a bridge to nowhere. Overall opinion, if you're looking for excitement, this isn't it. If you're just looking for something different or casual, this may be ok.

Comment: This is feels more like an adventure course set up for groups than a traditional via ferrata. Although the area is open to the public for free, plan to spend ~10 minute talking to the safety officer no matter how much previous experience you have at the start of the course who will check to see that you have via ferrata lanyards (not just slings or cows tails) before letting you enter.
Went on a nice weather Thursday morning, and there were many groups on the course. I was moving more quickly solo than the pace of most groups, but there were usually good areas to pass within a five minutes of catching up to the group.
