Via ferrata

Climbing a Via Ferrata

A “Via Ferrata” is a climbing route equipped with pegs which provide comfortable foot supports as well as continuous and safe hand holds.

A cable running along the route allows a safer climb by using proper double lanyards.

In this way the ascent can be carried out by small groups (up to six people with the guide) which makes it a more "social" activity than classic mountain climbing.

The Ferrata degli Artisti in Finale.

The renowned “Ferrata degli Artisti” is long but not difficult. It takes place in a wild environment. By clear weather you can enjoy some beautiful views of the Riviera Ligure.
The southern exposure makes it perfect for spring and autumn, but with the right conditions and/or the correct departure times of the ascent it may be done throughout the year.
