VIA FERRATA
As the name suggests, the concept is Italian. Immediately after the 1st World War in the Dolomites, people started climbing the mountains taking advantage of the extensive infrastructure left behind by the soldiers. The routes were impressive and took you to places otherwise inaccessible. The development of tourism in the area led to the maintenance of old and the creation of new routes. At the moment thousands of people visit the Dolomites in the summer to climb one of the thousands of amazing routes.
A via ferrata can be short and short (200-300 m), but it can be long and reach up to 1000 m, requiring mountain experience. One can even do multi-day routes passing from one via ferrata to another. A via ferrata is not as demanding as a climbing route. It is certainly more demanding than simple hiking.
On the wilder side of Mount Parnitha, the impressive right slope of Armas dominates.
The via ferrata in Arma starts a little above the Kliiston tis Fili monastery and then the path passes through exposure points in the void and this in itself is quite exciting! But what really makes it special is the direct contact with the special nature of the imposing vertical slope. It is addressed to all those who do not have a phobia of heights and have a satisfactory physical condition. Even for children. Accompanied by adults of course.
What does a Via Ferrata gear include?
In each and every of your Via Ferrata adventures you will need the 4 most important elements:
- Helmet : protects you from possible falls of rocks that may occur on steep slopes
- Via Ferrata Kit: the most important part of the equipment – consists of 2 carbines with automatic safety, a sling in the form of Y and shock absorption mechanism. With the help of the two carbines, you permanently secure yourself to the metal cable along the route.
- Hiking boots with Vibram soles: for every route, even those with a low degree of difficulty you need boots with an adhesive sole, great rigidity and high cut for ankle protection
- Harness: secures you, together with eh Via Ferrata kit in case of a fall
Apart from the gear mentioned before it is worth mentioning the following elements worth having with you:
- Gloves for using on the metal cable and not damaging your palms
