1.  Is the Via Ferrata Safe?

      The answer is No.  There is inherent danger with any high adventure activity.  We train everyone on how to climb safely and we monitor our climbers. Our safety systems have redundency built into them.  That does not mean that someone will not follow our simple rules and safety systems, and in doing so may result in death. 

 

2.  Are there age limits?

     Yes, for the Climbing Adventure.  No, for the guiding.  Ages 10 and older for the Climbing and Adventure.  The Climbing Adventure and the harnesses that we use are not designed for children under that age, size and height.  We also require that children between the ages of 10 to 14 be  accompanied by an adult or a guide.  The adult or guide can accompany up to 5 kids in that age range.  A guide will cost $10 per hour.  For guiding, age of 6 or older is recommended.

 

3.  Do I have to have any prior climbing experience?

    No.  We will train you in our training program.  The Climbing Adventure route is also divided up into different degrees of difficulty; beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert.

 

4.  How do I get down?

    There are 6 exits on the course.  Therefore if you have climbed your limit, come down one of the exits.  Exits are at the beginning of each level of difficulty, so you can come down prior to going beyond your physical limit.
