Via ferratas
Les Dames and Canal de l’Artiga Baixa are two names for one line on Montserrat’s southern side. The park treats it as an equipped channel requiring advance permission. Operators describe an ascent whose physical rock passages can demand more than experience on an easy ferrata. Do not choose it simply because the route looks short or photographs show metal staples. Discuss movement, strength and protection with a guide first. Older publications record different closures; Collbató’s late-2025 health restrictions were subsequently changed, making current confirmation from the park more useful than an undated claim that the route is open.

- Agree difficulty, protection and return; Artiga Baixa is not a second separate route.
