I haven't got the guts to real climbing. Via ferrata is the way for guys like me to start climbing in a high age without too much risk, I started in the age of 50, and still feel the kick.

Everybody shall join the mountains in the way he/she likes. I like all kinds of mountaineering: combined climbing, ice climbing, sports climbing and via ferratas. There are some really great via ferratas in Switzerland! You have to visit them!
We always go to the ferratas of Italy/Dolomites. We have had some very bad experience with the weather in Austria and Switzerland, and we only go for 1 week every year, so the weather conditions are very important. But - point them out for me, or tell me where I can find info, you never know, we might change opinion and take the "risk".

Re: Never triedThanks for your compliments!
It is a great fun! Very airy! There are a lot of via ferratas in the Alps. If you come to the Alps you have to try one!
