For everyone who wants to set off on a via ferrata adventure this year, it is important to be well prepared. Here are a few tips for enjoying the via ferrata season safely and with pleasure:
- Check your equipment: make sure that your climbing equipment is in perfect condition and meets all safety standards. That includes helmet, harness, via ferrata set and suitable shoes.
- Route planning: find out in advance about the different via ferratas in your region and choose a route that matches your ability and your experience. Also take the weather conditions and possible hazards into account.
- Safety first: when climbing via ferratas it is important to always pay attention to your safety. Stick to the safety rules, clip in correctly and do not take any unnecessary risks.
- Respect nature: enjoy the beauty of the mountain world, but also respect nature and leave no rubbish behind. Take care not to damage any plants and not to disturb any animals.
- Out together: via ferrata is often more fun in a group and it increases safety. Never go onto a via ferrata alone and look out for each other.
- In bad weather you should avoid starting up a via ferrata. Rain, wet and cold increase the risk of a fall.
With these tips, nothing stands in the way of an unforgettable via ferrata adventure. Enjoy the challenge, the view and the feeling of freedom in the mountains.
