From Huesca it is an hour and twenty minutes. With a guide, the equipment is included and you only bring the nerve. Afterwards you have home-cooked seasonal food in Sarvisé, five minutes away, and in the afternoon you take a ride on horseback through the Broto valley. ## The Day, Hour by Hour 7:30 · Departure. From Huesca, take the A-23 to Sabiñánigo, the Petralba tunnel to Fiscal and the Ordesa road to Broto. The car park at the Sorrosal waterfall is next to the village and is free, except in summer and on the busiest long weekends. 9:30 · Sorrosal via ferrata. With Guías de Torla Ordesa, from €55 per person, with a harness with energy absorbers, helmet, gloves, qualified guide, insurance and the €3.50 municipal fee. From age 10 or 1.45 metres in height. From the car park to the foot of the route is five minutes. The first section, beside the water, is the most vertical; then come the tunnel, the bridge and the final balcony above the village. Allow two and a half hours. Confirm the meeting point and time with the company when you book. 13:30 · Lunch at Casa Frauca. The hotel with a restaurant in Sarvisé, on the Ordesa road, with a forty-seat dining room and a terrace with mountain views. It has its own car park. It is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, except on long weekends and in summer; on Sunday it is open. Book on 974 486 353. 16:30 · Horse riding in the Broto valley. In Sarvisé itself, Caballos Casa Blas runs rides of one or two hours all year round. An hour costs €20, and €15 for under-12s, but at weekends you need to ask the price: call beforehand. 18:00 · Return. In Huesca around a quarter past seven. ## What to Order at Casa Frauca The menu changes often with the season, with recovered traditional dishes and more modern ones. If it is in season, order the milk-fed kid from the Casa Bergua family farm, from Viu de Linás, in the same valley. The wine list is from Aragón and the rest of Spain. ## If It Rains, with Small Children or in Summer In the rain the ferrata is not done: the rock and the rungs are slippery and the waterfall swells. If the day clears up in the afternoon, swap the ferrata for the Estrecho waterfalls route in Ordesa, easy and through the forest. For children under 10, in the same gorge there is the Duendes del Sorrosal ferrata, simpler and designed for families. In summer, the Medio Forcos canyon, in Bergua, is the alternative with water: three hours of introductory canyoning with optional jumps and a 10-metre abseil, from €52. From April to July, with children aged 14 or over, rafting on the Ara between Torla and Broto. ## Cómo llegar ### By car A-23, Petralba tunnel and Fiscal: an hour and twenty minutes from Huesca, two hours from Zaragoza. ### Without a car This is not a plan for those without a car: the equipment, the guide and the horse are spread around the valley and there is no practical transport on Sundays. ## Consejos ### Book the guide days ahead Groups are small and in spring and autumn weekends fill up. ### Clothes that can get wet In spring the waterfall splashes you on the first section. Take a thin layer and something dry in the car. ### Eat afterwards, not before The ferrata asks a lot of your arms. A light breakfast and the long lunch for when you come down. ## Cuándo no ir A summer storm day. On a ferrata the steel cable is the last thing you want to touch: if there is a warning, swap it for something else. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### Do I need experience for the Sorrosal ferrata? No, with a guide. You need not to have vertigo that freezes you and arms to pull on the rungs for quite a while. ### From what age can it be done? With the guide companies, from 10 years or 1.45 metres in height. ### How much does it cost? With a guide, from €55 per person with all the equipment and the municipal fee. On your own, only the €3.50 fee that Broto town council charges in summer and on long weekends. ### Is Casa Frauca open on Sundays? Yes. It closes on Mondays and Tuesdays outside summer and long weekends. ### What if it rains? Do not do it. Swap the day for a walk around Torla and Broto or the Estrecho waterfalls route.
