Our taster course in Boppard is the first step for beginners. Here you will learn the important basics of climbing via ferrata.
Whether you're a beginner or advanced — in our via ferrata school, you will learn basic climbing and safety techniques and gain basic alpine knowledge to safely travel on via ferratas.
What can you expect in our via ferrata course? Among other things, you will receive tour planning and meteorology, via ferrata history, difficulty scales and construction types, detailed material briefing including technical background information, grip and stepping techniques, risk management and safety systems, as well as detailed travel tips with the most famous via ferrata spots.
