The activity begins with a safety briefing and a lesson on how to use the equipment. From there, you’ll venture onto the La Falconera Via Ferrata route, with plenty of opportunities to marvel at the landscape while testing your nerve.

– A 35-meter suspension bridge that challenges your balance and confidence.

We loved the way each bridge offers something different—some are a walk in the park, others push your limits a little, but all are designed with safety in mind. One reviewer described it as a “toller Klettersteig” (great via ferrata), emphasizing how smoothly the experience flows.
The Hinge and Zipline
A unique feature here is the hinge, reminiscent of another famous route, which adds a fun twist to the journey. But the highlight is definitely the 125-meter zip line, which launches you high above the ground, offering an unforgettable rush. The guides make sure you’re comfortable and secure before setting off, turning what could be scary into just pure fun.
