Safety

Safely to your destination

To tackle the via ferrata, we need to be in good physical condition, sure-footed and not prone to vertigo, as well as having suitable equipment and knowledge of how to behave in the mountains. If you are inexperienced, it is advisable to tackle the via ferrata with a mountain guide. We only set out on the route in good weather – and leave it immediately if the weather takes a turn for the worse or there is a risk of a thunderstorm. One carabiner must always remain attached to the safety rope.

Equipment

Well-equipped for your trip
