They vary in length and difficulty and offer beautiful views of the property as well as the opportunity to uncover archaeological and natural wonders. 

The Via Ferrata Climbing Challenge

Invented centuries ago in the Italian Alps, a Via Ferrata (‘iron road’) is a series of cables and ladder rungs, fixed to the rock face to enable the ascent of steep mountain routes. Amangiri offers a number of challenging Via Ferrata routes, led by expert guides on the property’s sandstone mesas.
