Description

Via Ferrata is like climbing a mountain, but in adventure mode and with great security, you will use a technical material (helmet, harnesses, gloves and dissipators) especially for this adventure. You will climb metal steps, enjoy a natural high-altitude route full of excitement with 3 zip lines (25, 35 and 10 meters), Tibetan and Monkey bridges, in a beautiful landscape in an agricultural village, which has incredible views of the mountains and the famous "Boquete de Zafarraya" which is a mountain pass in the Penibetic Mountain Range, constitutes the most important natural passage between the province of Malaga and the province of Granada. Is a nice adventure to enjoy with couple, friends, family, this via ferrata is perfect for initiation too, as we can adapt it to different levels. The Via Ferrata of Zafarraya has it ALL: it’s fun and exciting; has zip-line jumps and a nice dose of art in a breathtaking natural landscape. *It is necessary not to have vertigo.

Via Ferrata John Hogbin to Zaffaraya

A via ferrata overlooking a beautiful landscape, even more beautiful at sunset! David and his colleague ensured both our safety and the Mood on the varied route, taking into account the different levels of participants. We reached them directly on the site. The access road, along which sheep, goats and even ibex bask, was a nice surprise. I recommend!!!

Great adventure, great guide

We went off to Via Ferrata with my 3 kids and had a great afternoon in the mountains with Frank our guide from Local Experiences. Frank is very helpful and skilled in mountaineering and really made us all feel safe and have a great time. The trail is about 3 hours long and you need to be in reasonable physical shape. You will be climbing on mountain ridges, use the ladders in the mountains, use zipline and bridges to make your way over the beautiful Via Ferrata and enjoy the stunning views. The reward at the end are some cold drinks, beer and snacks where you can look back at your great adventure. Thank you Frank hope to see you again soon!

Fantastic adventure

Our Via Ferrata and Zip Line adventure was fantastic! The experience was brilliantly organised, and the guides were amazing—very friendly, safety-conscious, and incredibly supportive. The scenery was spectacular, with breathtaking views at every turn. The combination of climbing and zip-lining was exhilarating and perfect for our family, including our kids aged 12 and 15. The guides made sure everyone felt safe and confident throughout the entire experience. The whole activity was a perfect blend of challenge and fun. Highly recommend this adventure for anyone looking for an unforgettable outdoor experience!

Beautiful Via Ferrata route with super guide!

Never done Via Ferrata before, but it was fantastic! It was challenging but doable and the guides were helpful, knowledgeable and created a good Mood in the group! Because it is so high and we went on time in the morning, the heat was no problem! A very nice activity to do with family.

BOOK THIS IF YOU CAN

BOOK THIS AS FAST AS YOU CAN! This was the absolute highlight of our two weeks of vacation in Spain! Five and a half hours of pure fun, laughs, and smiles. You will be given a pick-up point when you book your adventure. You will also get a fun reminder the day before - pretty cool. Your host will be there on time to pick you up and take you up the beautiful mountains. Your host - in our case, David - is extremely knowledgeable and professional. They know the area very well and will give you some very interesting, valuable, and even funny information about it during the beautiful drive. When you arrive at the destination in the mountains, your host hooks you up with great-quality equipment - all carefully checked beforehand - and starts the hike. The hike soon becomes an amazing climb and zip line route up and around the mountain. I am warning you, there will be several breathtaking views along the way. We even saw eagles! The climbing and zip-lining are challenging - but not too challenging. Everyone who wants a thrill and a bit of outdoor fun can do this. You have the most amazing host with you. David is ready to cheer, guide, and help all the way. It feels very safe from the beginning to the end. At the end, your host brings out cold drinks (yes, also a darn good cold beer!) and sweet and savory snacks to finish it all off. Thank you, David, for creating a core memory with us. This day is one for the memory books. Do not hesitate. Book this adventure. Now. Go!

Exciting and fun

I enjoyed this adventure very much. It was my first time climbing a real mountain, sliding a zip line and walking through monkey bars! David and Javier were very helpful in communicating to prepare us for the event and during it in making sure we were safe and having fun. I definitely recommend it.
