PEIO FONTI GUIDED TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Barba di Fior che ferrata — climb, drop 30 m, then fly 70 m above the Peio gorge
A guided half‑day via ferrata in Peio Fonti that pairs a professional alpine guide with a route to Forte Barba di Fior, a 30‑metre descent and a 70‑metre zipline, plus a closing local aperitif.
Barba di Fior che ferrata — climb, drop 30 m, then fly 70 m above the Peio gorge.
Sharp rock, a metal lifeline and the clean mountain air of Parco Nazionale dello Stelvio frame a guided via ferrata experience in Peio Fonti that is equal parts technical practice and adrenaline: clip into the cable, climb toward Forte Barba di Fior with a professional guide, and finish the sequence with a rappel into the void and a long zipline before settling at Malga Frattasecca for a local aperitivo.
