These are then applied directly during a <\/span><b>real via ferrata route<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout the activity, we work on body positioning, correct use of the energy absorber, effort management and how to deal with different types of sections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The route is selected according to the group&#8217;s level and the objectives of the course.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>More than just following the cable<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A via ferrata does not begin at the first rung. Before starting the activity, it is necessary to assess the difficulty, length, elevation gain, escape routes, weather and the level of the participants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why the course also includes concepts of <\/span><b>planning and decision-making<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so participants learn how to choose routes suited to their experience and recognise when conditions are not appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Requirements<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No previous experience is required. A basic level of fitness is recommended, as well as not having a fear of heights that would prevent you from moving normally in vertical terrain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What you will be able to do after the course<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The training provides a foundation for using the equipment correctly, understanding the difficulty of a via ferrata better and continuing to practise on routes suited to your level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Independence develops progressively through practice and experience, especially before attempting longer, more technical or more exposed routes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Would you like to learn how to do via ferratas?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell us about your experience and the type of routes you have already done. We will help you choose the most suitable training.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"curso-personalizado\" style=\"padding: 20px; margin: 30px 0; border: 1px solid #dddddd;\">\n<h3>Personalised training: duration and price tailored to you<\/h3>\n<p>MundoCanyon courses are adapted to each participant&#8217;s level, previous experience and objectives. For this reason, <strong>the duration of the training, number of sessions and price are determined individually<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Before planning the course, we have a short conversation to understand your starting point: what experience you have, which techniques you already master, what you need to improve and what your objective is.<\/p>\n<p>Someone starting from zero does not need the same training as someone who already practises the activity and wants to perfect specific techniques. Likewise, some participants need a single focused session, while others require a more complete and progressive training process.<\/p>\n<p>Based on this assessment, we define <strong>the most suitable content, duration and format<\/strong> and provide you with a corresponding personalised quote.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mundocanyon.com\/eng\/contactos\/\"><strong>Tell us about your experience and request a personalised proposal \u2192<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><strong>Frequently asked questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><b>Do I need previous experience?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. The course is designed for people who want to get started with via ferratas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Do I need to have my own equipment?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The equipment included is still to be confirmed.
