⚠️ Warnings & Safety – We're playing, but we're staying safe 🎯

Via ferrata is a supervised and safe activity, but it takes place in a natural environment and on rock faces. As with any adventure at height, a few precautions are essential:

🔐 Follow the safety instructions given by your instructor. They're not just for show 😉

🧷 Equipment is mandatory and regulated: adjusted harness, double carabiner lanyards, and attached helmet.

👉 Professional supervision and the equipment provided guarantee safe practice, provided you remain vigilant and responsible.

🏃‍♂️ Physical Condition & Contraindications

Via ferrata is a moderate to vigorous physical activity that requires a minimum of mobility and endurance. You don't need to be a top-level athlete, but you must be able to:

• walk uphill for several dozen minutes

• engage in physical activity for half a day

• use your arms to hoist yourself (ladders, cables)

• manage your balance at height

❌ Possible contraindications:

Certain situations require the advice of a healthcare professional or may make the activity unsuitable (non-exhaustive list):

• Heart or respiratory problems (severe asthma, heart failure, etc.)

• Balance disorders or extreme dizziness
