Description

A via ferrata is a mountain itinerary designed for beginners: it's a general public activity for anyone capable of climbing a ladder.

Via ferrata can be enjoyed all year round, depending on weather conditions.

There are different types and levels of via ferrata, but what they all have in common is the use of a cable - the lifeline - on which the climber "clips" to secure himself or herself. Climbers move through steep, sometimes aerial terrain.
The rocky sections are generally equipped with ladder runs set into the rock. There are also footbridges, monkey bridges and other types of fun workshops.
