In 1843 the first via ferrata built for tourism was created on the Dachstein in Austria. Through the use of iron pins and steps, as well as a so-called ‘lifeline’, difficult climbing passages could be protected continuously and made somewhat more accessible to non-climbers.
But the history of via ferratas goes back much further:
Ladders and wooden structures similar to via ferratas have been known in the Alps for centuries and served mainly as working routes to open up alpine pastures and hard-to-reach areas, as well as for forestry. The modern via ferrata era begins with the construction of the First World War via ferratas built in South Tyrol and the Dolomites. Today these are increasingly climbed for tourism and enjoy great popularity as an entry point into the climbing world for enthusiasts of every age.
Our via ferrata adventures are planned carefully and full of adventure, so that we can enjoy an unforgettable experience full of breathtaking views, movement and fun on the rock. Some of the cantons where we run our tours are: Ticino, Uri, Bern, Obwalden and many more.

From the meeting point we walk to the via ferrata we have chosen for the tour. On site we get an introduction to, or a refresher on, belaying and climbing techniques, and combine these with plenty of movement, sunshine and fun! Depending on the number of participants we choose a suitable via ferrata, so that by the end of the day everyone is definitely able to climb via ferratas independently.
The main difference lies in the time intensity and the length of the route.
This compact course is the ideal entry format. It is perfect for you if you want to try out belaying technique on rock calmly for the first time, without spending a whole, energy-sapping day in high-alpine terrain straight away. The half-day tour is also ideal for families with children or for people who want to refresh their technique efficiently.
The principle stays the same even on shorter routes: via your via ferrata set with two carabiners you are continuously secured to the fixed steel cable on the rock. While climbing, the carabiners run along with you. At the anchor bolts you move the carabiners across one after the other – first the first, then the second. That way you are never unprotected, not for a single second. In the event of a fall, an integrated energy-absorbing lanyard dissipates the energy and catches you safely.
