If you are seeking a place to do go Via Ferrata climbing in Barcelona, in this guide we will help you by giving some tips and information about the companies that carry out this activity in Barcelona.

Vias Ferratas are tours located in the mountain which are easier to ascend than traditional climbing routes since they are prepared with more helpful items. To complete a via ferrata there is much more that we can use than our hands and feet to hold onto the rocks. There is a set of prefixed elements in the mountain, making marked and regulated routes that will be a great help to move forwards the circuit.

These elements are varied, so we will be allowed to try different ways of progression: walking along footbridges, holding on metal cramps as if they made a vertical ladder, passing from one ladder to another horizontally or crossing bridges that connect one point to another using a cable.

It is essential that you are accompanied by an expert and qualified instructor who is familiarized with the type of activity. For safety purposes, the instructor will provide you a type of route adapted to your level.

We show you in this video a step through one of the via ferratas of Barcelona:



Technically speaking, the difficulty of a via ferrata is established under the Hüsler scale. The Hüsler scale classifies the complexity of the circuit with the letter K and a number, which is very useful to understand what to expect in each adventure. The numbers of the Hüsler scale show the strength, resistance, psychological aspects and climbing experience that must be required by each participant. Then, we will be finding the easiest routes classified as K1, and the most difficult ones as K6, aimed at expert climbers exclusively.

Once you have decided to undertake a via ferrata, the company will provide us a helmet to avoid hitting the rocks, a harness similar to the ones used for climbing, and carabiners used specifically for this activity. This equipment will maintain us attached during all the route to the so-called lifeline, a cable that will prevent us from falling into the void if we slip off or hold one element incorrectly. Besides, the belay device would slow down the speed that we could reach in case we slip and fall.
