Enjoying a day off is what all of us who are so busy during the week that we don't even have time for ourselves want. But when Sunday or the day comes when work does not occupy our minds, the best thing to do is go into nature and practice adventure sports.
Maybe you are thinking that to practice extreme sports it is necessary to have a good physique and sportsman's spirit, but it is not the same in all cases. There are activities in which it is enough to want to have a good day and dare to do something different. We suggest that you dare with the via ferrata: a route that can be both vertical and horizontal along walls or rock masses along along which you will find handrails, dams, hanging bridges, zip lines, chains...
If you are not a regular at climbing practicing this sport is also accessible to you. You also have a steel cable along the entire route that will ensure your safety, so you don't have to worry, as well as a harness and special carabiners that will protect you if there is a fall.
A via ferrata excursion can offer you all the emotions you are looking for and you will not have to worry if you do not have previous experience, since a guide will explain how to use the materials and will give you confidence to carry out the tour in total comfort. To practice this multi-adventure sport you must be somewhat familiar with heights or at least not have vertigo!
Once you have chosen a via ferrata route and you are clear about the weather forecast (to avoid setbacks), what you have to do is equip yourself with good material: helmet, harness, gloves, shoes, eight and rappelling rope, energy dissipator (if you fall it will cushion the blow). Don't worry if you don't have the most specific items, since in most cases the company will lend them to you.
Keep in mind that it is best that you travel along a route adapted to your level, since no matter how much we want to if we are beginners we cannot demand anything beyond our possibilities, no matter how much the landscape attracts our attention. Furthermore, it is advisable to go with people who already have experience and this way we will be safer.
It is recommended that you do not rush along the route, since generally you can always getting traffic jams due to too many hikers, fatigue, etc. Also, remember that the via ferrata does not end once you have reached the end of the route, but you have to go down again. During the easier sections it is recommended that you go at a low pace, since this way you will not be tired if more complicated meters arrive. Ah! And don't forget to admire the landscapes that will appear as you ascend since they are truly worth it.
Whenever you have time, be sure to take a via ferrata excursion, it is very fun and will make your weekend getaways totally different. What are you waiting for? Live an authentic adventure on a via ferrata!
