Frequently Asked Questions

Clear your doubts about our complex and the Via Ferrata.

The circuit has an easy to moderate difficulty level. It is strategically designed so that both beginners with no prior experience and more experienced adventurers can enjoy the ascent 100% safely and at their own pace within our ecological complex.

Of course. However, before being used in the complex, our staff will inspect it to verify that it is in the proper conditions. In the event that it does not pass the guides' approval, said equipment cannot be used within our facilities for safety reasons.

Being an eco-complex immersed in nature, the habitat is shared. The presence of birds and other animals inhabiting the complex is natural; sometimes they accompany climbers providing an extra spectacle, and sometimes they don't. We cannot guarantee sightings, but it is part of the charm of the environment.
