Via ferrata (Italian for "railway") is a way of moving along walls and various more or less vertical obstacles, using equipment similar to that used in rock climbing. The difference with climbing is that the walls are equipped with rungs, bridges and ladders, and a lifeline is laid along the entire length of the wall for self-insurance. Originating in Austria in the 19th century, it was in Italy that it gained its nobility during the 1st World War. Today, as a vector of sports tourism, it is a great complement to climbing, offering the same thrill of heights and breathtaking views, but without the same degree of technical commitment.
