As a mountain leader so you has to be able to master many different branches. Thats one of the delight of the yard. Via Ferrata wll be one of my favourites. It is something between a lot of diffrent activites. It dosent require a lot of equipment either, and often you can rent it at place. In Norway there a lot of really nice Via ferrata trails but also in Sweden. If you havent been to Skuleberget you really should. A nice spring morning, a nice summer day or why not a sunny autumn day. The expectation and challenge is lying in the air when you start. You focus and soon you got the adrenaline kick while traverseing the trail.
And after a haour of struggle you get the reward, a faboulus view of the area. Take a coffee, be in the moment for a coule of seconds, and then on it again.
(Dont forget to enjoy the view…)
After guiding a couple of persons at the Skuleberget Via Ferrata no one has ever complain, or dispute the decision of doing the Via Ferrata…
So these are the guides tips for a good Via Ferrata: One: wear the right equipment(helmet, harness, The Via Ferrata set and boots). Two: wear good gloves. Three: Wear a small compact back pack with 1st aid, a core jacket, water and some bars. Four: A good aproach shoe or boot. One with a rubber sole that cover the toes. Five: take the trail step by step, rest and enjoy the view. Six: At the top stop and feel the freddom of the hills, and really enjoy the view(this might be the most important thing:-)
