The activity was as good as we expected maybe a little different/more challenging from standard Via-ferratas with iron holds.

This was AMAZING. We rappelled down three separate cliffs, then hiked a bit, then continued to the via cordata activity. We have done via ferrata in the past, but this was a completely new experience. Very challenging even for experienced climbers, but incredible views made it worthwhile. Our kids ages 12, 15, 16 had an amazing time. The 12 year old needed some assistance for reach during the climbing portion, but the guide was right there to assist.
