Via ferrata in Israel


What is Via Ferrata?
– Via Ferrata means: “Iron Road” in Italian. A trip with a security technique where the hiker is exposed to altitude or complex passages. To avoid the danger of falling, the route is paved with ropes, stairs, cables, and accessories attached to the rocks. The technique allows us to secure the hiker (with the help of our Ferrata equipment) to the steel cables deployed along the track. The equipment includes a harness, helmet, and a dedicated set of two straps with a fall relay mechanism. The beginning of the “Iron Roads” is in the First World War. The method developed in the mountains of Northern Italy. The enabled passage of military units in the mountains and the transfer of equipment and supplies. Since then, the routes have evolved, and tracks have been built for sports, climbing, and hiking to varying degrees of difficulty. In Israel, the first Via Prata route was established in 2017 in the Ramim ridge and is called “Melech Way,” in memory of Nir Melech (RIP),  hiker, and mountaineer.
