A via ferrata is a path used to climb a mountain with a safety system permanently installed. It will give you the chance to experience climbing without any previous experience and the opportunity to move through spectacular mountain scenery using minimum equipment. You will be permanently tied to a steel cable that runs through the entire route. Usually this does not require any climbing rope. Metal ladders, bridges and similar facilities are used. This helps maintain the physical difficulty of climbing while providing access to very high and extreme vertical sections of the mountain, that would usually only be accessible to experienced rock climbers. The climb is 400 metres. Once you have arrived to your lodge, dinner will be served with fantastic views over the valley and the sky.

This fabulous city holds houses, temples, warehouses, a large central square and all connected by narrow roads and steps, which is surrounded by terraces cut into the mountain side which were used for agriculture.
