"For people who want to try a via ferrata without scaring themselves to death, the Trichdrome is an excellent choice: I wasn`t scared at any point, taking advantage from start to finish from the adrenaline boost your body gets in such situations and enjoying the breathtaking landscapes. Safe in my harness and carefully secured by straps, I took full advantage of the fantastic view in front of me, feeling so small, perched high on the cliff. A fantastic experience I look forward to repeating. "
