Zip Line & Via Ferrata

Amidst the cliffs and at lofty heights above the crystal-clear Salza – pure adventure!

This alpine programme combines the best of both worlds: via ferrata adventures and thrilling zip-line routes – complemented by stunning panoramic views of the crystal-clear River Salza.

After a short approach, the tour begins with an easy via ferrata (A/B), which is ideal for getting used to the terrain. This is followed by a variety of zip-line sections of varying lengths alternating with further via ferrata sections – a perfect blend of physical activity, height and adrenaline.

The return route takes you back down into the valley via the well-secured via ferrata. As a special finale, the final section is shortened by a spectacular abseil: safely abseiled by the guide, you’ll glide through the air one last time whilst enjoying an impressive panoramic view of the alpine landscape.
