Despite the climbing aides and the security harness, via ferrata is an activity where caution is essential. You will be climbing up cliffs and crossing various obstacles, so be sure to pay attention to where you take your next step. Even though climbing experience is not a requirement for most routes, you will need to be in excellent shape and to be able to handle heights. Finally, choose a difficulty that is adapted to your experience – routes are graded from A to E, A being easy and E being extremely difficult.
