Foresto: Via Ferrata in Italy

Have you ever tried to do a Via Ferrata? Basically Via Ferrata allows you to go where  it would be impossible or very difficult with some artificial help. Ferro in italian means Iron. In the mountain some steps and an iron rope is settled to allows people to proceed in security. Maybe the most beautiful and for sure the more spectacular Via Ferrata we have in our territory is the Foresto one. You climb next to (and in some part of the year, inside of) four waterfall in the Foresto Canyon which is in some part 200 meters tall. The Ferrata is extremely exiting and adventurous.  You need an harness and a couple of carabiners which is called technically “longe” with whom you can ensure your safety and than you can enjoy the mountain settings. Trekking Alps is advising you to try this fantastic experience! At the end of Foresto Ferrata(the images were recorded last May) there is also a Tibetan bridge; in order to come back to the car you can take a 30 minutes path where you can easily meet also chamois and other mountain wild fauna. Enjoy Alps!
