Via ferrata for families
This course has two objectives. The first objective of this course is to teach the parents how to safely take their children through a via ferrata. Hence the course is ideally booked by one or two parents with one or two children. The course can also be done without children in order to learn how and when to provide support in a via ferrata, for example for those who are slightly weaker.
The second one is to embark on a fun and exciting outdoor adventure with your family in this specially designed via ferrata course! Perfect for families with children and beginners, this course offers a unique opportunity to explore the thrill of via ferratas in a safe, supportive, and family-friendly environment. The course emphasizes fun and connection, with plenty of opportunities for family bonding as you tackle obstacles and share the excitement of reaching new heights together.
Led by experienced instructors, this course is tailored to ensure that both kids and adults can enjoy the experience at their own pace. You’ll learn how to use via ferrata equipment while focusing on safety, teamwork, and helping others.
