    Nope. Nope. And nope for me. That said this was BY FAR the BEST video I’ve seen of this Via Ferrata! I felt I was right there with you (keeping my heart rate at a safe level 😅). Thanks so much for sharing all the details of preparation and experience. It will encourage those thrill seekers among us while being very satisfying for people with “ edgeophobia” like me. 😊

We’re glad to “safely” take you along on the journey with us 😁 We are not big risk takers, so we definitely wanted to share the prep and details to make this experience happen. Also, “edgeophobia” has now been added to my language because that’s such a good description for that fear!! 🤓

    I so wanted to do this when I went there in 2019! Unfortunately we didn’t know we needed to plan better, so we arrived shortly before the last self guided allowed time, and the gal at the Intersport disapprovingly indicated we could not go because our sneakers were not good enough, and we wouldn’t have time to rent boots and get going in time 😣
    It was awesome seeing your footage all this time later-thanks for sharing! ❤

      ​​@@CaitlinConCuoreif you don't have much ferrata experience, approach shoes if not solid B/C hiking boots are a must, if experienced, trailrunners might do, although not a brilliant choice on ferratas with plenty iron steps and ladders...sneakers are an absolute no go! They don't provide any grip from a profile and rubber compound perspective and the sole is way too soft 🤷‍♂️

    We did this (on our own) in October 2022. Sadly the zip line wasn't available, but we totally enjoyed the rest of the hike. I remember my knees getting weak on the cliffside section. It was probably my favorite section, but also made me the most nervous. Great video! We'd totally do this again!!

      @AplinsintheAlps  Год назад

      You’re right, the zip line is only open for group tours. Otherwise there is another tightrope to detour around it.
      Looking back, we were more nervous than we needed to be on that cliff section. Now we want to go back and try again with more confidence!

We didn't need assistance on putting the gear on, but the staff is friendly and helpful. If you've never done a trail with this kind of risk involved, a trail guide would be a great way to learn. :D However, if you decide to do this hike without a guide, you can bypass the zipline at a fork in the trail.
