Things to do at the Via Ferrata Cornwall

Via Ferrata originated in the Alps during WWI as a climbing route to enable troops to cross mountains. It is climbing like no other with metal steps, suspension bridges and zip wires. It is one of the most adrenaline-filled climbing activities in the world.

At the Cornwall site, you can traverse across their quarry walls, walk across a high wire bridge or leap from the clifftops on their scenic zip line. Families can take part in the Via Ferrata training circuit with the high-wire bridge. This is suitable for children aged 8 and over. You will be taught the basic skills of Via Ferrata before you face the 70m long high wire bridge with a single strand of wire to cross.

Children from 10 years plus can take part in the full classic experience with 2 quarry zones including the high wire bridge and zip rides. Height restrictions to both adventures also apply. There is a wild play area for children aged 3-10 plus a nature trail for the whole family to enjoy.
