Another route that unfolds starting from the Porro and Ventina huts. Just after Rifugio Porro follow the signs for Torrione-Porro (you can ask the manager for all the necessary information for the Via) turning left. You follow a rather steep path and after about half an hour's walk you reach a fork: on the right you continue towards the Larice Millenario Path (another route) while on the left the signs lead us to the Via ferrata. This is a ferrata where you climb little and advance only thanks to the artificial elements, in typical French style. The actual ferrata measures about 200 m of elevation gain and takes us to the ridge of Torrione Porro which can also be reached by the normal route, the one you will walk back on to return to the starting point (path 321.1). From the summit you can admire a wide panorama that ranges from the Ventina glacier to Lake Pirola. Essential, besides a good preparation on exposed terrains, all the necessary equipment, climbing harness, via ferrata set including lanyard, carabiners and energy absorber, climbing helmet, ropes and of course appropriate clothing
