Arco and the Sarca valley, with its numerous Via Ferrata routes suitable for beginners and not, is the ideal location for a Via Ferrata course. Upon completion of the course one can aim to explore more difficult routes in the Dolomites, accompanied by one of our Mountain Guides.
The Via Ferrata course begins at a local crag, covering aspects of classic rock climbing as to familiarize with the gear and the rock, and to learn how to maneuver feet, a simple yet fundamental detail to preserve the strength of the arms. Knots, rope maneuvers and safety will be some of the topics covered in this course. On increasingly challenging routes, participants will learn how to safely manage the progression and how to tackle increasingly demanding passages independently.
This course is also useful for parents who want to approach via ferratas with the family and learn how to manage progression, ensuring the safety of their children.
Our Mountain Guides will select the most suitable Via Ferratas based on abilities and expectations of the participants.
Each Guide can take a maximum of 4 participants.
