“It was exhilarating and unexpected. The steepness, and then the feeling of achievement when you would conquer each section was amazing. We had no experience and yet the guide made it so simple, secure, and safe- he really built confidence into each and every one us in the group. His name was Albin- if you can request him, I would highly recommend it.”

“My husband booked this Via Ferrata and didn't tell me because I would have said no way. With my anxiety at 100 I decided to do it, but I could not have done it without our amazing instructor/coach Zack. His calm demeanor helped me remain calm and focused. He provided clear instructions at each step. He coached our entire group to the top safely. I appreciated that he did not rush us and in fact made sure our experience was one to remember! For anyone who says they would never do this, I say step out of your comfort zone and try it! It's an amazing feeling when finished!”
