Invented centuries ago in the Italian Alps, a Via Ferrata (‘iron road’) is a series of cables and ladder rungs, fixed to the rock face to enable the ascent of steep mountain routes. The climbs and drops can be an adrenaline ride, but Via Ferratas also offer an opportunity to get up close to the fascinating geology of the terrain.

Well suited to thrill-seekers, the Cave Peak Stairway has 120 steps and is a unique installation raising 400 feet (122 metres) above the ground. Amangiri's guests are invited to take to the stairs after completing the Cave Peak Via Ferrata and will be rewarded with an incredible panorama from the top. With an unmatched vertical route of ascent, a spectacular position, and a summit visible from the resort, it is destined to be an iconic and exhilarating adventure.
