“Such an awesome family adventure! Hajo and Dominica were super friendly and social, and they made our whole family feel so comfortable with this experience. My husband was nervous and ended up absolutely loving it and wanting to do it again! We did this in the winter so it was cold, but if you dress warm you will be fine! The weather was still great and you could see for miles! They provide goggles and helmets too for you. I would highly recommend this if you’re looking for some adventure and an adrenaline rush!”

6.Berchtesgaden: Via Ferrata Beginner Tour of Schützensteig
A 4-hour beginner via ferrata on Schützensteig in Berchtesgaden with full gear, real instruction, and huge alpine views.
“Onze begeleider Helmut gaf een duidelijke uitleg/instructies en was heel vriendelijk. Als we iets niet begrepen in het Duits vertaalde hij het naar het Engels. De tour was uitdagend, maar voor een beginner met goede conditie en bergwandelervaring echt prima te doen. De groep was met 5 deelnemers klein, wat maakte dat er veel persoonlijke begeleiding was. Dit was heel prettig. Daarom een absolute aanrader als je kennis wilt maken met via ferrata/klettersteigen. Deze tocht heeft mij enthousiast gemaakt voor meer klettersteigavonturen!”
