Such an incredible experience! Felt completely safe, Emile was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable on the hike to the start of the climb. Was calming and fun to hang out with! Would definitely recommend for any ability (just need confidence) Thanks again Emile for a great first experience of a Via Ferrata, has encouraged us to do more!
