What to expect
If you’re up for “pure thrills,” this is a great first step into via ferrata: a protected climbing route where you’re continuously clipped into a steel cable.
Your guide will teach you the fundamentals—how to clip safely, how to move efficiently, and how to manage exposed sections with confidence.
The exact route difficulty is chosen based on the group, staying within beginner-friendly grades.
Expect a few active hours in beautiful nature: steady climbing, short traverses, and plenty of moments to stop, breathe, and enjoy the views.
What’s included
- Guided tour
- Equipment (harness, helmet, via ferrata set, gloves)

What’s not included
