The Bolon ferrata in Elda has a route of approximately 2 hours and a half. The itinerary begins at La Pila, where the starting point of the ferrata is located. From there, the ravine is accessed by a path that runs along the mountainside.

Once in the ravine, the route is divided into two parts: the first is shorter and easier, while the second is longer and more demanding. In both parts you advance through a series of walkways and hanging cables, which allow you to go through areas of difficult access. There are also several ladders and suspension bridges that facilitate progress through the ravine.

Walkways and hanging cables are elements used in the Bolón ferrata to allow progress through the canyon. The footbridges are flat, wide structures that are placed on the ground or over the water and allow safe walking. Hanging cables, on the other hand, are elements that are placed between two anchor points and that allow safe progress through the canyon, held in place by fall protection devices (DPC).

In the Bolón ferrata, hanging walkways and cables are used to pass through areas of difficult access and to cross rivers or streams. Some footbridges are narrow and have a smooth surface, while others are wider and have a rougher surface to facilitate gripping. Hanging cables, on the other hand, can be more or less taut and can be more or less far from the ground, depending on the section of the route.
