  INTRODUCTION TO VIA FERRATA

  

  Written July 2009

  Excellent holiday. The Dolomites are very dramatic. Just a word of caution....you need to be fairly fit and a keen walker for this holiday. But you also need to be fearless when it comes to traversing the rocks and snow. Some of the sections were alot scarier than I was prepared for.

  VIA FERRATA: NORTHERN DOLOMITES

  

  Written September 2008

  An excellent week, more challenging than expected but providing a sense of achievement each day amidst stunning scenery and in good company.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Being on top of Cima Cadin NE after climbing all the ladders to reach it.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  The guides were excellent in choosing a good variety of VFs of appropriate difficulty, helping us over difficult sections, setting a sensible pace, and monitoring the weather.  They were interesting to talk to although sometimes they talked to each other rather than monitoring the group.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Make sure you are fit, including upper body.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  • The first day was really too tame and short in the VFs it offered to give a sufficient introduction.  Although it was shortened because of approaching bad weather, I don't think there was another VF sufficiently close to attempt that day.  More consideration should be given to the best location for the introductory day.
  • A group of 16 all doing the same VF is far too large as it results in significant hold-ups at difficult points.  As 2 minibuses were used, each taking 8 + guide, the group should have been split in 2 after the first day:  the same VFs could have been offered on days 2&3, and 5&6, so that everyone had the same opportunities.
