Sintesi:

Accesso:
Park at Therma. Follow either the direct path, or walk up the rough road then on the path. It may be possible to save some walking by driving up the rough road from Therma with a suitable car, in which case a car shuffle is required (or someone walks up to fetch the car while the others drink at the restaurant). It is also possible to park at 40.486058, 25.618228 and follow the road then a path to the top of inferior at 40.481917, 25.60910, then a further path to the top of intermedio at 40.476932, 25.605152 (path marked with red dots). However, the path is somewhat unpleasant and undulating, and for the effort the walk into superior is far more pleasant.
Avvicinamento (2 h 30):
See GPX on https://ropewiki.com/Gria_Vathra The walk to the top of Gria Vathra Superiore is pleasant through the forests, and follow a clear path until the short final traverse into the canyon.

Giro (6 h):

Ritorno (20 min):
Find the path marked with large painted red dots. Use your map app to return to the car. If you parked at 40.486058, 25.618228, follow the paths and old canal to cross the river at a very small dam at 40.489480 25.614173, then follow a vague path (not marked on map apps June 2025) to regain the road to walk to the car.
