Half Day + Via Ferrata
What is a Via Ferrata?
A Via Ferrata is a course set out with a fixed steel cable along a rock wall. The difference with normal rock climbing is that the climber secures himself/herself using the iron cable, instead of a second person belaying the climber via a rope.
Our guides make sure that the activity is very safe. Climbing experience is not required for this activity, any beginner can do it!
Meeting point is the RCC shop. The crew dispense the necessary gear to the clients. After that, the guide takes the clients to the Tafelberg, which is a 10-minute drive with our minivan. From the point where the RCC van gets parked, it’s around 15 minute hike to reach the Via Ferrata.
After having received clear instructions, the clients ascend the Via Ferrata under the guide’s surveillance. The VF brings them to the top of the Tafelberg, which is a big platform. Thereafter, the guide takes the clients to the climbing one. If it’s the clients first time rock climbing ever, the
guide gives a clear explanation of the basics. The clients get to climb, while the guides belay them.
This activity takes around 4 hours.
Highlights:
- For beginners: discovering a new sport
