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.

Local Tips
Sturdy hiking boots are required for all Via Ferrata tours (free rental boots are available; however, sizes are not guaranteed).
Your harness is always attached to the mountain’s steel cable pathway – keeping you secured at all times.
Don’t forget all-weather/waterproof outerwear (e.g. rain jacket).
