Careful planning and realistic assessment of your abilities are crucial for safe and enjoyable via ferrata tours. Find out about the difficulty level, distance, route, weather and weather conditions from people who know the area or experts. Never set the goal too high. Difficulties that are set too high reduce the expected success and can put you in dangerous situations. Before the via ferrata tour, check each other's harness buckles, connection of via ferrata set to climbing harness and helmet to make sure they are fully functional.
