*All necessary climbing harnesses and via ferrata lanyards are provided by NRP. Helmets are available at no extra charge (highly recommended, and required for all climbers under 18 years of age). Climbers may use their own suitable gear, at their own risk. NRP may reject any personal gear deemed unsuitable by NRP staff, whose decisions are final. "Y"-lanyards designed specifically for via ferrata, with integral load limiting devices, must be used at all times on the via.
**Click here for additional information on Group Rates and Policies. Except as stated below, groups of ten or more via ferrata climbers, scheduled in advance, pay a flat group rate of $40 per climber, for all ages, all gear included. The rate for weekday groups who are accompanied by a paid guide is $35/climber. Private guiding may be arranged through NRP when you schedule your climb; guide fees are generally $100 for up to ten people (in addition to individual pass fees).
THE MINIMUM AGE FOR VIA FERRATA CLIMBERS IS 13 YEARS. NRP reserves the right, in its sole judgment, to determine the suitability of the via ferrata for each individual user.
Except as otherwise expressly approved by NRP, persons under 18 yrs. of age climbing the via ferrata must be accompanied and supervised by either (a) their parent or legal guardian, or (b) an adult qualified and registered with NRP as a group leader or private guide.
A via ferrata pass is for one continuous climb from bottom to top. Stopping on the via for meals or other purposes other than brief rest breaks is not permitted without staff approval.
Climbers who exit the via ferrata at either of the two escapes may not re-enter the via without staff permission. Climbers who are directed to exit the via at an escape due to weather conditions or other contingencies may re-enter the via when directed by staff, if time and circumstances permit; otherwise, a rain check may be requested at the entrance station. After a climber enters the via ferrata and begins climbing, no refunds are permitted.
Prices and policies are subject to change without notice.
