Discover the Via Ferrata in the District Council of Ribeira de Pena and uncover the natural wealth of the region with family and friends!
Ribeira de Pena is located in the Vila Real District, a northern region of Portugal. It is found in a zone of transition between the harsh and mountainous Trás-os-Montes and the verdant Minho. It is crossed by the calm waters of the Tâmega River, and also offers visitors the unmistakable flavour of the region's green wine.
Equally rich is the heritage left by man since remote times, visible at abundant prehistoric sites such as the Stone Age engravings of Lamelas, several dolmens and archaeological monuments, and fortified settlements such as the ruins located at Monte do Cabriz, near the village of Cerva.
This Via Ferrata in Vila Real is made by a vertical route equipped with steel cables, wire ropes, clamps, and suspension bridges that will allow you a safe ascent to areas that will be a bit difficult to access for beginner climbers who are not used to developing this activity.
This will be an adventure full of nature, sportive movements, and fun, suitable for almost everyone. This Via Ferrata in Vila Real, when practiced with appropriate equipment, is a completely safe activity that allows all lovers of active tourism, to know, discover, and explore the natural wealth and richness of the region.
You can enjoy this activity all year-round year with family and friends!
