From the meeting point we reach the via ferrata on foot, which we have chosen as a tour. We get an introduction/repetition of the securing and climbing techniques and combine them with a lot of movement, sun, fun!

Depending on the number of participants we will choose a suitable via ferrata, so that everyone will be able to climb simple routes independently at the end of the day. Course end approx. 18:00.
