Via Ferrata

The via ferrata is a course laid on a rock face, equipped with specific metallic elements (cables, ladders, ramps, etc.) designed to facilitate the progression. 

The safety is optimal thanks to life lines (handrails) that allow the participants to protect themselves. The via ferrata is also a sport practice on this route, an intermediate activity between hiking and climbing. The practitioners of this activity are called ferratists.
