We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
- We only work on authorized and maintained ferratas, which have been environmentally evaluated.
- We encourage respect for the natural rhythm of the group and the environment: no rushing, no impacts.
- The experience includes training and awareness of the natural environment, not only vertical technique.
- Always in small groups, to minimize the wear and tear of the route and maximize the connection with the environment.

Another way to read the mountain from its walls.
A vertical way of getting to know the mountain: history, geology and respect for the rock.
Via ferratas are much more than a vertical adventure: they are a way of reading the mountain from its walls, where human history, geology and the search for an active connection with nature intersect.
This experience invites you to ascend with full attention, exploring shapes, textures and stories anchored in the rock without leaving a trace.
The wall as a geological book
During the tour, we will observe and explain:
- Rock types through which you ascend: folded limestones, inclined strata, fractures.
- Vertical erosion and weathering processes that give rise to needles, channels and spurs.
- How the geology conditions the route of the route, the placement of clamps and the orientation of the wall.
- Reading the landscape from the heights: understanding how the valleys, reliefs and ravines visible from the via were formed.
History of via ferratas
Far from being just modern sport facilities, via ferratas have functional and historical origins:
- They are inspired by ancient routes of shepherds, charcoal makers or gatherers, who used improvised pegs and footbridges to access inaccessible places.
- Their modern name comes from the Italian "vie ferrate" of the First World War, built for the safe passage of alpine troops over steep terrain.
- Today, ferratas allow the democratization of the vertical mountain, making it accessible to more people, always with respect and appropriate training.
A model of responsible adventure
- The ferratas we use are designed to be visually integrated, respecting the aesthetics of the rock and avoiding particularly sensitive sections.
- We promote a silent, conscious and orderly use of the itinerary: no shouting, no music, no waste.
- The activity becomes an opportunity to interpret the environment, not only to overcome it.
