Climb the Mt. Norquay Via Ferrata

Channel your inner mountain goat to ascend rock walls and ridges with the same ease and grace as the sure-footed creatures. Via Ferrata is Italian for “the iron way,” and it’s just that - ladder rungs and cables anchored firmly into the mountain, allowing first-time climbers to ascend to new heights. Top-level certified guides lead the way in the perfect balance of guided and self-driven adventure. Hand over hand and step by step, moving across rock faces and suspension bridges is an exhilarating feeling shared by every climber in the mountains.
