Via ferrata, or “railway track” in Italian, is a mountain activity halfway between hiking and climbing. It involves climbing along rock faces equipped with metal elements (cables, ladders, bridges, footbridges) to make progress safer and easier.
The via ferrata is accessible to all, from a certain age and with suitable equipment, and allows you to discover the joys of climbing in complete safety, while enjoying exceptional scenery.
What is a via ferrata?
A via ferrata is a route built on a rock face, equipped with artificial elements that allow you to progress in complete safety. These elements can be :
- Cables (lifelines): used as belays and to hold on during tricky sections.
- Ladders: these make it easier to climb vertical walls.
- Monkey bridges: used to cross empty spaces.
- Footbridges: offering spectacular aerial passages.
- Steps: these make it easier to get around the rocks.
The via ferrata is a unique adventure, an inner journey and a deep connection with nature. Whether you’re a beginner, looking for thrills or the tranquillity of nature, Akila offers you a world of possibilities and emotions.
So don’t hesitate, set off on a mountain adventure!
