Via Ferrata

 New for this year, we are introducing Via Ferrata ―an Italian term which means ‘iron path'. Via Ferrata is a protected climbing route, built with a steel cable rail fixed to the rock, metal steps, ladders, suspension bridges and zip wires.

The word defines both the route and the outdoor activity, which consists on progressing through the via ferrata by using a harness clipped onto the wire. Half-way between scrambling and rock climbing, via ferratas allow non-expert climbers to reach high altitudes in a safe way, using minimum equipment.

Via ferratas are a great way of exploring mountains. This sport does not necessarily require previous mountain experience, but you will need to have a good physical condition and no fear of heights.
