CAVING or VIA FERRATA?
Are you physically fit with a sense of curiosity? Do you fancy learning something new and finding out about silver mines?
Then caving is the thing for you!
For those age 8 or over. Caving is a form of underground exploration and classed as a sport. You will be safely roped up and supervised by a passionate state-qualified caving guide!
Are you physically fit, independent-minded, and like climbing?
Then the Via ferrata is the thing for you!
For those aged 12 or over and weighing at least 40 kg. The Via ferrata is a cross between hiking and climbing. You will follow a course that is specially designed for this activity (with cables, ladders, and ramps). You will be fairly independent as you make your away long the lifeline, which can be used with self-belay equipment.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
All specialised equipment is provided (full suit, harness, helmet with headlight, and boots). Bring loose, warm clothing (temperature in the mine is around 10 °C).
