Guided Via Ferrata in Northern Malaga Mountains

The wind carries the scent of thyme and pine, while sweeping valley vistas accompany every ascent. The Experience Under the guidance of a certified professional, you’ll navigate vertical steps and steep drops, cross suspended Tibetan bridges, and glide down zip lines. The rough texture of the rock and the rustle of wind through pine canopies create a deep sense of connection with nature.
