Get to the top of the mountain and breathe in the freshest air in the world - a personal victory every time you scale a peak.
Walking, hiking, and climbing - they all have one thing in common: reaching ever upwards, trying to get higher than ever before. Once you reach the top, all the hard work in getting there is worth it.
It is such an indescribable feeling of sheer freedom when you look around you into the distance, enjoying the view: when you can proudly look back on the distance you have come and what you have achieved.
Climbing for Beginners

he Via Ferrata - the Iron Route - a unique feature of the Dolomites and other mountains in the borderlands. It used to be a way of helping soldiers get over the highest mountains even if they were not practised rock climbers.
There has been a revival in this type of climbing particularly over the last few years.
The main difference: climbers don't need to anchor themselves all the time because they are harnessed onto the iron rope which is permanently fixed to the mountain. This means they can concentrate fully on climbing and don't have to be afraid of falling.
