ABOUT

Via Ferrata, which translates to ‘the iron path’ in Italian, is an exhilarating outdoor activity that takes you on a protected climbing route. This unique route is constructed with iron cables, resembling a railway, firmly anchored to the rock. Along the path, you'll encounter metal steps, stairs, suspension bridges, and thrilling aerial pulleys. The very term ‘Via Ferrata’ signifies not only the route itself but also the thrilling adventure of traversing it, as climbers secure themselves using straps attached to the wire.
