Famous Via Ferrata’s of
Oman
Oman has three Via Ferrata’s
and each has something different to
offer.
‘ Grand Canyon ’ Via Ferrata (VF1)
= Walk along stunning canyon then
Via Ferrata out
Snake Canyon Via Ferrata (VF2)
= A mixture of zip lines, high wires
and Via Ferrata in the famous Snake
Canyon
Bander Khayran Via Ferrata (VF3)
= Kayak to the peninsular then Via
Ferrata over the cliffs for great
views of the bays and marine life of
Oman below you
‘
Grand Canyon ’ Via Ferrata (VF1)
The 1hr walk along
Oman ’s ‘
Grand Canyon ’ balcony walk
is breathtaking and ends at an
abandoned village complete with
millstone and watchtower. After
exploring there is a small uphill
walk to the start of the Via Ferrata.
The Via Feratta is mostly vertical
and split in two sections that
follows the old original sticks
route put in years ago by villagers.
The 1hr long Via Ferrata offers
unique views from the ‘V’ of the
‘Canyon’
Snake Canyon Via Ferrata (VF2)
Traverse the walls of Snake Canyon
100m off the canyon floor – not one
for the faint-hearted! The Via
Ferrata takes you in a horseshoe
circuit and you will traverse the
approx 4hr route using a mixture of
zip lines, high wires and a monkey
bridge! The dramatic drops and views
of the canyon make this an adrenalin
rush for the truly adventurous!!!
Bander Khayran Via Ferrata (VF3)
Our third Via Ferrata starts with a
30min kayak out from the main beach
at Bander Khayran to the start point
where we put on dry trainers and set
off to traverse 30-40m above the sea
cliffs looking down onto the marine
life in the turquoise waters below.
The 2hr traverse also includes a
small cave crossing.
