Via ferratas were originally made to enable troops during the second world war to move quickly and safely through the Dolomites of Italy. These walk ways have now become a sub-sport in their own right. Offering a great day out in the mountains, where participants use cables, chains and ladders to move through very steep ground easily.

To get the most from Via Faratas days you must have some maintain walking experience, a head for heights and the desire to take a walk on the wild side!
Wow what a day, scary at first but once I got the hang of it, immensely enjoyable I feel like a real mountaineer now.
