The offer
Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment on the Perun Via Ferrata?
The exposed sections where the mountain drops away beneath you and you're clipped to the iron rungs above Split are the sharpest adrenaline spike. The city and coastline visible below you makes the height feel very real.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
A healthy respect for heights actually sharpens the experience. That said, the "occasionally sporty" level means the route isn't designed to push you to your absolute limit, so most active adults handle it without prior via ferrata experience.
How long does the full experience last?
The tour runs 3.5 hours from start to finish, guided by Iris Adventures in English or Croatian.
Is this suitable for someone who has never done via ferrata before?
Yes. The physical level is rated "occasionally sporty", which means it demands some effort and a decent fitness base, but no technical climbing background is required. Your guide handles the safety briefing on-site.
