What you will do
A combined Cortes de Pallas outing with XXL paddle-board travel and an equipped route above the reservoir. The standard product is intermediate and does not include the extreme K6 variant.
Activity plan
The three-to-four-hour outing includes via ferrata gear, a guide and equipment for the water access.
The route is legally closed from January through June. July and August are considered only with an early start and suitable heat, wind and water conditions.
Key highlights
- Via ferrata and XXL paddle board
- Reservoir landscape
- Intermediate level
- K6 excluded
Coordinating water access
The XXL paddle board forms part of access and requires coordination before reaching the wall. Preparation covers stability, communication and moving together for the group and conditions.
Wind, heat and water may alter timing or sequence. Wettable shoes and a change of clothing serve the whole outing; the water stage is not a transfer guaranteed independently of its environment.
A genuinely intermediate profile
The standard outing requires regular physical activity, enough coordination after the water access and the ability to move and follow instructions comfortably at height. Previous experience helps with exposure and lanyard use, although the profile is assessed as a whole rather than through a single label.
Someone seeking a first via ferrata may be better served by a more progressive option, with more room to become familiar with carabiner changes and foot placement. How each person functions as fatigue develops or the route becomes more exposed also matters.
A calendar without exceptions
The route is legally closed from 1 January through 30 June, even when forecast conditions appear favourable. No activity is confirmed during that period, and an enquiry cannot be interpreted as an exception to the calendar.
September, October, November and December are recommended. July and August remain conditional and are considered only with an early start and suitable heat, wind and water conditions. Another destination or date may be proposed, depending on availability, when those variables do not align.
FAQ
What ability does the group need?
Participants need intermediate fitness, coordination for water access and via ferrata, and comfort at height.
What if wind, heat or water conditions are unsuitable?
The combination is not forced. Another date or activity may be proposed for availability, ability and season, without a guaranteed substitute.
