What is Via Ferrata?
What makes this trip different from a normal hiking trip is the frequent use of “via ferrata” or “Klettersteig”. Via ferrata routes include the use of cables, ladders, and rungs to facilitate safe passage across exposed sections of trail. We provide you with all of the technical equipment necessary to travel on these trails: harness, helmet, and via ferrata clip-in set.
