Via ferrata
Via ferrata is a protected climbing route that combines hiking and climbing, featuring a network of fixed anchors such as cables, ladders, and bridges. Climbers wear a harness connected to a steel cable with a specialized lanyard, allowing them to securely traverse challenging or steep terrain safely. Originating in the Alps for military and rescue purposes, it today offers enthusiasts a way to experience vertical landscapes with safety and support, requiring moderate technical skill but mostly relying on equipment and guidance. It provides a thrilling way to explore mountains and rocky areas with relative security.
