Klettersteig Tour im Tessin
We love Ticino so much for its mountain scenery and doing a via ferrata takes you right in the middle of it! Amazing panoramas on Lake Maggiore and Lake Lugano combined with the thrill of climbing on vertical walls and exposed ridges.
We offer tours in different difficulty levels, so it can be a great experience for the whole family.
Discover the beautiful mountain scenery of Ticino!
??Via ferrata basic/family in Ticino
We meet in the morning at the cable car station where we hand out the equipment then the cable car takes us quickly to the heart of the mountains. ( Of course for the sporty ones there is a possibility to walk up and cross the valley through the famous Ponte Tibetano.)
After a short walk we stand under a rock. It looks unclimbable but not for us! After a short safety briefing and practice with the via ferrata kit we are already on our way up!
We provide tested and safe Edelrid equipment, a comfortable helmet, a universal size harness and an easy-to-handle via ferrata set. If you have never used such a gear our colleagues are happy to advise you.
We also have a limited number of child harnesses and helmets available, so you can bring also your adventurous kids.
Recommended routes:
- Via ferrata dei Tre signori, has an easy and a difficult version, cable car access.
Our guide makes sure that you spend the day safe and all you need to focus is the climbing and the breathtaking views!
What you need to bring:
- enough food and drinks
- hiking boots or approach shoes
- rain jacket
- camera
You want a challenge? Let’s rock it!
