A via ferrata is a protected climbing route with fixed steel cables, metal steps, anchors and, on some routes, bridges or exposed traverses. It gives you a real vertical adventure without needing to be an experienced climber, as long as the route is matched to your group and everyone follows the guide’s instructions.

Sometimes yes, depending on route and guide setup. Age rules vary by route, so send children’s ages when you enquire and we will match the safest option.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable sports clothing and closed shoes with good grip. Bring water, sunscreen and any personal medication you may need. Avoid sandals or loose footwear.

What should I send when I enquire?
