The Vias Ferratas have become one of the most popular outdoor activities for adventure sports enthusiasts in recent years, as these installations give the visitor the possibility to be introduced to sport climbing, individually or with the whole family.

Vias ferratas are vertical or horizontal routes that are equipped with pegs, cramps, holds, handrails, chains, suspension bridges and zip lines. They enable the traveller to reach difficult access sites.

Hikers, mountaineers, climbers or just adventure sports enthusiasts will be able to safely go through the mountains of Cantabria.
