A demanding Via Ferrata trip in the heart of the spectacular Italian Dolomites

Via Ferrata means 'Iron Way' in Italian, referring to a system of cables that cling to the side of the mountains and create routes that would normally be the domain of rock climbers. Our expert guide helps us clip onto the Iron Way to clamber along ridges and up rock faces, always safe in the knowledge that we are attached to the mountain. Following trails originally built for troops during the First World War, we journey from one mountain hut to the next in the Catinaccio Range. Varying in length and difficulty, each section of Via Ferrata rewards us with stunning views. A good level of physical fitness, a harness and helmet are required to join this trip, as well as a head for heights.
