What is Via-Ferrata?

Via Ferrata is a combination of walking and climbing along iron pathways. It is an activity accessible to everyone. Attached at all times, you will find several ladders, rope bridges and steep pathways on your way across the rock face.
Great sensations guaranteed in full security.

A via ferrata (Italian for "iron road") is a protected climbing route found in the Alps and certain other locations. The essence of a modern via ferrata is a steel cable which runs along the route, fixed to the rock. Using a via ferrata kit, climbers can secure themselves to the cable, limiting any fall. The cable can also be used as aid to climbing, and additional climbing aids. Development of via ferratas has spread out of its original areas to the rest of the Alps and beyond. The first via ferratas in France were constructed in 1988. The modern era has seen the rise of more "sporting" routes, sometimes closer to the valley and often more challenging in nature, with severely steep sections and requiring high strength.
