You step onto a narrow ledge, the wind brushing across the rock as the steel cable hums under your gloved hand. The cliffs here drop into the green mirror of Lake Temo; north-facing walls keep the route pleasantly cool in summer while a Tibetan bridge sways a little beneath your boots.

Wildlife
History
The route uses iron rungs and cables in the Italian via ferrata tradition—engineered, protected passages that evolved from military and alpine rescue routes into recreational climbing in the 20th century.
Conservation
Stick to established paths and avoid trampling surrounding scrub; the lake and cliffs are sensitive habitats, so carry out all waste and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
Reserve your spot on the Experience in Via Ferrata della Regina today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Wear stiff-soled approach shoes
Rigid-soled shoes give better edging on metal rungs and rocky steps than soft sneakers.
Hydrate before and after
Bring at least 1L of water per person; the climb itself is short but exposure and sun can dehydrate you quickly.
Listen to the safety briefing
Guides provide critical instruction on using the energy-absorbing lanyard and switching anchors—pay attention and ask questions.
Book for morning or late afternoon
North-facing walls stay cool, but early or late starts avoid the warmest midday window and improve visibility.
Climbing harness (provided but can bring your own)
Personal harness improves comfort and fit during clipped sections.
Approach shoes or light hiking boots
Stiff sole and good grip help on iron rungs and rocky terrain.
Gloves for via ferrata
Protects hands on steel cables and during traverses.
Light wind shell
North-facing exposure can be cool and breezy, especially outside summer months.
