1. AustriAlpin Hydra Evo Via Ferrata Set
The first three-arm via ferrata set is called Hydra Evo and comes from AustriAlpin. It combines the Colt via ferrata set with the ferrata.bloc, providing additional safety. All three arms are connected with the woven tape energy absorber. In easier sections, the ferrata.bloc can be stowed in the pocket of the energy absorber but is always within reach when tackling difficult spots. When properly used, the ferrata.bloc prevents long falls to the next intermediate anchor when it is clipped into the cable. The long snapper of the Colt, which is operated like a pair of pliers, allows for a significant distance between fingers and steel cable, preventing pinching. Additionally, the carabiners are equipped with AustriAlpin shock absorbers and meet the UIAA bend test.

5. Rother Via ferrata Julian Alps
High peaks, jagged summits, turquoise mountain rivers, and a good dose of wilderness – the Julian Alps in the tri-border area of Slovenia, Italy, and Austria are a true paradise for mountaineers and via ferrata enthusiasts.

The Slovenian walls and ridges are not yet as fully equipped with modern climbing facilities as the alpine regions in Italy or Austria. The Rother via ferrata guide "Julian Alps" provides an excellent selection of 83 via ferratas of varying difficulty levels, allowing you to experience the mountain world.
The guide features tours in the Julian Alps, the Steiner Alps, the Karawanken, and the Carnic Main Ridge. Three different via ferratas lead to the famous Triglav. In addition to such popular highlights, there are also plenty of hidden gems.
Each tour is presented in detail: comprehensive information on access points, base camps, duration, character, and difficulty of the tours makes planning easier. Alongside the detailed tour descriptions, hiking maps with marked routes ensure safe navigation along the way. Additionally, GPS tracks for all routes are available for download on the Rother mountain publishing website. A variety of photos sets the stage for an enjoyable climbing experience.
