Enjoy a day on the rock

Taking you to the vertical!
Want to try something a little different? Looking for a rush of excitement and adventure? Climbing on a Via Ferrata is not only an exhilarating way to explore inland Andalucía, but a day of challenge and fun as you negotiate Tibetan bridges, zip wires, and pendulums, as you climb higher on the metal rungs. Whether you are a complete beginner, or an experienced climber, we have a collection of routes that are both enjoyable and fun, and take you to places that are uniquely beautiful.

Climbing in a small group, and always with a knowledgeable guide, our Via Ferratas are in some spectacular locations. Whether we are on the high slopes of the Sierra de Loja, the buttress rocks of the hilltop village of Comares, or overlooking the fertile plains of Zafarraya, there is something unique about each one. Depending on which climb you book there is the possibility to explore the local village, combine the climb with a Land Rover tour, and always a stop for drink and tapas!

We provide you with all the equipment you will need for the climbing; helmet, harness, safety equipment, and gloves. We will also provide light refreshments for in between climbs.

Price for the climbs start from €50.00 per person and you can book up to two weeks in advance. There is a minimum booking of two, up to a maximum of four (enquire about larger groups). And do not forget that there is a 10% discount for three or more people.

You do not have to be a climber to enjoy a Via Ferrata. If you are reasonably fit, have a head for heights, then a K1 or K2 route should present no problems. Check out the different grades here.

"Phil was a great guide. We really would recommend the via ferrata in Comares with Active Andalus. After the 3 routes via ferrata we went for a drink and Phil also gave us a little guided tour in Comares."

"I'd never done anything like this before so it was a bit daunting looking up the cliff face but Phil was an excellent guide we felt very safe."

"The via ferrata were the highlight of the trip, a mix of straight forward and simple to some moderate ones .......  but with the good kit and techniques supplied they are well worth the effort and give a real sense of achievement fun and adventure."

"Another day we climbed a Via Ferrata into our favourite town, Comares, with Phil and Simone providing the essential kit and ensuring we were safe. We were all chuffed to have competed it. The tapas afterwards were well deserved!"
