Via Ferrata / Klettersteig books

Via ferrata (also known as Klettersteig in German) is an adventurous form of mountaineering in which climbers follow a fixed route secured by a steel cable that runs along the rock face. It is a perfect activity for those looking for a combination of hiking and climbing, without the need for extensive climbing experience. In our selection of via ferrata books you will find detailed guides and route descriptions for the most beautiful and challenging via ferratas in Europe and beyond.

These books provide extensive information on the difficulty of the routes, technical tips, and the necessary equipment, such as climbing harnesses, helmets, and carabiners. The guides often include maps, photos, and elevation profiles to help you best prepare for your climbing adventure. Whether you are looking for beginner routes in the Italian Dolomites or more challenging via ferratas in the Swiss Alps, our books will help you get up the mountain safely and well-informed.

With these books you will not only be prepared, but you will also learn more about the history and techniques of this unique climbing style.

CanyonZone has also included in the Via Ferrata / Klettersteig knowledge base which equipment and accessories are useful for your activities. Study of Canyoning technique books and skills (Instruction Books) are available if you want to undertake higher difficulty tours.
