Montenegro Rock Climbing At Via Ferrata

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

WHAT YOU VISIT
Via Ferrata
Italian for "iron path," the trail located on the Uvita Greda mountain peak in Durmitor National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and within walking distance from the ship's pier. Ideal for those with little or no experience, you'll be outfitted with protective alpine equipment (helmet, belt and ferrata system, which includes two carabiners, belt connector and the safety system). Experienced guides who are also members of the Mountain Service will lead you up the trail that begins at an altitude of 229 feet and ends at 688 feet. Just like in all alpine climbing, ladders, ramps and cables fixed to the rock ledge and attached to the ground ensures your safety.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
There are two benches on the ferrata that can be used for taking photos and taking a break, with phenomenal views of the Bay of Kotor, as well as the San Giovani Fortress and the Old road that connected Montenegro of Old with the Bay of Kotor.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
As you make your way up the Via Ferrata, it's interesting to note that it's often associated with World War I when several were built in the Dolomite mountain region to aid the movement of troops.
