No experience needed. If you can climb a ladder, you can do this.
The day
Ever wanted to climb? A via ferrata is a rock wall fitted with iron rungs, a steel cable and a couple of bridges with nothing but air underneath. You are clipped to the cable from the first step to the last.
It is the gentlest way to find out how you feel about height: real exposure, very little technique, and a guide beside you the whole way.

Good to know
Is it safe for children?
From 10 years, with an adult. The guide can add a rope for extra security.
Do I need strong arms?
Not really. You climb with your legs, like on a ladder.
What if I freeze halfway?
It happens. The guide is next to you and there are easy ways off after each section.
