Via Ferrata / Climbing

Via Ferrata, or ‘Iron Roads’, provide exciting scrambling/climbing in exposed situations, requiring specialist equipment and a good head for heights. The routes are all protected with fixed wires, staples, even wire bridges across yawning chasms. Plenty of great routes in the Dolomites, all well graded in the guides. Climbing guides also appear in this section.
