Via Ferratas have recently become one of the most popular outdoor activities for adventure sports enthusiasts, as these installations offer visitors the possibility of getting started in sport climbing and enjoying it as a family or individually.

Via Ferratas are routes, both vertical and horizontal, equipped with bolts, staples, holds, handrails, chains, suspension bridges, and zip lines, allowing travelers to reach areas that are difficult to access.
