Recommendations
The Nepalese Bridge is an integral part of the Via Ferrata of the Lucanian Dolomites
To travel a via ferrata, it is essential to have the specific material for this activity, to know its correct use and climbing progression techniques.
On a via ferrata, the shocks due to a fall are extremely violent.
No material resists shocks. This is why the use of the heatsink is mandatory.

Advice
We recommend that everyone, but especially beginners, be accompanied by a guide or by experienced people
