Via Ferrata Weekends |
|
What is a Via Ferrata?
The via Ferrata (Italian for “iron way”) is a mountain route equipped with steel cables, ladders, and other fixed anchors, for example wooden walkways and suspended bridges. The artificial equipment makes it feasible to navigate an exposed route even by the inexperienced climber, and allows those not versed in climbing techniques to hike on ledges, climb vertical walls, and reach the peaks of mountains.
What Via Ferrata activities does No Boundaries offer?
You can experience via ferrata in our weekend and week-long exploration. You can also experience it as part of our multi sport week.
Why experience via Ferrata with us with us?
All of our activities are led by qualified IFMGA Mountain Guides. The British Mountaineering Council defines a Mountain Guide as someone with the IFMGA carnet, the highest qualification in the world for leading people in the mountains, whether skiing, climbing or mountaineering.
Where are we going?
These are only some of the area we are going to explore in 2018. We constantly update the list so stay tuned!
