Via ferrata course, Lake Garda, Trentino
Learning by doing on the best all-season via ferratas
In Trentino the via ferratas are called Viae Ferratae and this is not the only difference:
In no other Alpine region are there so many "iron routes" and nowhere do they have such resonant names as "Via Ferrata Che Guevara" or "Via Ferrata Signora delle Acque". The choice is considerable and there is a suitable route for every taste and every requirement, from the short sport via ferrata close to the valley to the 1,000 m route.
Your mountain guide will accompany you on the fantastic routes and show you the tricks of the pros in terms of belaying techniques and via ferrata tactics. Thanks to annual training courses, the Vivalpin mountain guides are always up to date, just like the modern Edelrid via ferrata sets, harnesses and helmets, which you can try out and test to your heart's content.
