A via ferrata course for those who want to approach the world of vertical climbing in complete safety.
The aim of the course is to provide participants with all the necessary knowledge to tackle autonomous or challenging routes. The via ferrata chosen for the course will be in Piedmont, in the province of Turin, where you can practice on different types of terrain and exposure.
During the via ferrata course, participants will learn the correct use of equipment, progression techniques, the use of the rope as an additional safety tool, basic knots and belaying methods, basic climbing techniques, and how to manage the fear of heights.
There will also be some practice in topography and orientation, as well as learning how to choose the right via ferrata route and plan the excursion, prepare a backpack, and everything related to the choice of via ferrata equipment available on the market.
A climbing test in the rock face will also be conducted to better understand how to move on the rock when steps are not present, and how to use the rope correctly when necessary.
The course includes an overnight stay in a cozy family-run bed and breakfast, where participants can rest at the end of the via ferrata days.
An expert Alpine Guide will accompany participants and provide all the necessary equipment.
On request, customize the via ferrata course program on rocky ridges, combining it with other outdoor activities or visits.
