Via Ferrata: Yanshan, Beijing

Via Ferrata in Beijing: Rock Climbing Made Accessible

One of the coolest things I’ve done recently, Via Ferrata is something I highly recommend for anyone based in Beijing who’s seeking more outdoor adventure activities. Suitable for almost everyone (via ferrata has had kids as young as 6 years old complete their routes!), this is an awesome activity for families looking for a day trip escape out of the city (it’s only about 1-1.5 hours outside the city) or if you have visiting friends and families who have already been to see the Great Wall but love exploring the gorgeous mountain landscapes just outside Beijing. It’s incredible that so much natural beauty is right at our doorstep and via ferrata is a great way to experience it.

An outdoor activity that The Hutong Education team organizes for 7th grade students, I was first introduced to this sport last month. After completing the training and rescue course with my adventurous colleagues, I surprised one of my best friends with a via ferrata trip for her birthday. Nervous at first, she was doubting her ability to complete the activity both from her perceived lack of strength and her fear of heights, but after completing the experiment course (designed for first timers), she was both confident and excited to continue on and complete both the intermediate and most difficult via ferrata climbing routes in Yanshan.

Honestly, if you happen to have a fear of heights, Via Ferrata is probably your best option to try and conquer your fear. Just like stepping up, down and across a ladder, this climbing sport gives participants all the perks of rock climbing without the actual physical strength and endurance that outdoor rock climbing generally requires.
