Via ferrata at Lake Garda, in Arco and on the Brenta Dolomites with a Mountain Guide
Sport, nature and fun; how to live the mountain without being an expert climber.
A via ferrata can bring you to places that otherwise you would not be able to see without a proper physical preparation. To do a via ferrata you will need energy and effort, together with a bit of adrenaline, to reach the top.
A via ferrata is a mountain route equipped with iron cables, chains, iron ladders, iron bridges and other protections anchored in the rock that make it easier to access difficult peaks. To do this activity we will give you a climbing harness, a via ferrata kit (which includes a longe, two carabiners and an energy absorber) and a helmet. You just need to bring the equipment you usually use for hiking.
