Planning a via ferrata?
The ferratas are carried out throughout the whole year. In Summer, you will need to rise early, because that way you avoid the heat-peak hours, and in Winter, the start time is delayed a little to try to get a warmer temperature. Only on the cases of rainy or windy days, the activity is suspended. We recommend you to seize Spring or Autumn season to practice this sport since nature’s color palette, green, yellow and orange, are just a beauty to see.
