Around Camping Sass Dlacia, routes range from friendly beginner paths to long, demanding classics. Whether it’s your first cable or a new personal challenge, these mountains deliver unforgettable exposure.
Tools, technique, and trust
Gear up for the vertical world
Ropes and proper equipment are essential for every via ferrata. Your basic kit includes:
- Climbing harness
- Via ferrata set with two carabiners and energy-absorbing lanyard
- Helmet (rockfall protection is crucial)
- Optional gloves for cable and rock friction
- Optional rope and belay device for difficult sections or children
Even with the right gear, fitness and calm focus matter. If it’s your first ferrata or if you want expert support, consider hiring a certified guide.
