Description
Mount Forato (1,230m) is a wonderful peak in the Apuan Alps of Northern Italy. Even though the peak is not enormous in the way most people think of mountains, it is still lovely. And when you see it along with the gorgeous landscape of Tuscany all around it, the peak looks even better.
On this trip, we have planned a fantastic adventure that is perfect for the whole family, especially children. This adventure is via ferrata. For anybody who has had the opportunity to enjoy this unique experience, you already know how amazing it is. And we are glad to offer that experience to children, so they too can enjoy it.
We believe that climbing is a great activity for people who are looking to improve their fitness. We also believe it helps improve a person's memory, motor skills, concentration, discipline, coordination, and many other important skills. Thus making it a great teaching tool for children. However, when it comes to activities like this, especially when children are involved, safety is absolutely the first priority. And we'll see to it that you, and your children, are safe at all times during this exciting activity.
Of course, this wonderful adventure is not just about learning. It is also a great deal of fun, for the whole family! You will get to hear your kids laughing as they make their way around the ridges of Mount Forato, while also gaining appreciation for how beautiful the peak, along with the natural landscape around it, really is.
If you are looking for a thrilling outdoor experience that you and your children can enjoy, then this trip is definitely for you. So send us a request, and enjoy a day of via ferrata at Mount Forato in Tuscany, Italy.
We also offer a one-day, private, basic rock climbing course in the Falesia de Monsummano area of Tuscany.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
