Wear sticky-soled shoes
Approach and ferrata sections switch between rock and metal—light approach shoes with grippy soles improve footing on rungs and slabs.
Hydrate and carry electrolytes
Plan for at least 1–2 liters per person in warm months; the climb is sustained and hydrating early prevents fatigue.
Practice clipping on the ground
Arrive a few minutes early to let your guide show proper use of carabiners and tethers—practice reduces fumbling when exposed.
Check weather and cancellation policy
The activity cancels in poor weather; confirm 24 hours ahead and pack a waterproof layer for variable mountain conditions.
Sturdy approach shoes or light hiking boots
Grip and ankle support are helpful on mixed rock and metal sections.
