Mountain guide André Reithebuch says: "Taking on a via ferrata in the mountains demands stamina, but above all, strength." The intense physical demands on your heart, circulation, muscles, and joints require a high level of fitness and an honest assessment of your abilities. Avoid time pressure, and set a pace that works for everyone in your group." A word of caution: Choosing a route that is too difficult can diminish the experience and lead to dangerous situations." The single most important requirement is having a head for heights. Via ferrata routes run along the rock faces of the Eggstöcke at considerable altitude.
The mountains offer a precious space for movement surrounded by unique landscapes. Embrace that freedom, but treat the sensitive mountain environment with respect. Follow any access restrictions, leave no trace, and be considerate of others sharing the trails.
