Via Ferrata Mat and Ari

Via Ferrata Ari is the most advanced adventure product in Kosovo. Although it is full of adrenaline, no prior training is required. About 90% of our customers are doing it for the first time. Still, your heart will race as you climb the vertical ladders high above the Rugova Gorge. You will reach unparalleled views of the surrounding mountains. An absolute must during your visit to Kosovo. For the brave, Via Ferrata Berim is an option.

Discover ancient caves that over the years have been used by monks, villagers, or soldiers (depending on who you ask) and now serve as shelters for native birds and other wildlife.

Via Ferrata is Italian for “iron path.” It is a climbing technique where climbers follow a series of steel cables and ladders while always being securely attached to the rock. With the support of Italian experts from the Dolomites and using the most modern techniques and equipment, Via Ferrata Ari is as safe as it is memorable. The climb and descent usually take about 2–3 hours.

Want to prepare for Ari? Start with Via Ferrata Mat (2 hours), our newest route, which follows a gentler, horizontal path along the river while offering equally impressive views of the gorge. The technical difficulty of both routes is the same, but each has its own charm.

Try them both and see for yourself! No climbing experience is required for either route. You will receive full technical and safety instructions before starting. The company provides EU-certified equipment according to EU standards. You will be equipped with a helmet, harness, and Via Ferrata set. Gloves are available on request for an additional fee.
