The  Skylodge is composed of three exclusive capsule Suites with a total capacity of 12 people in the entire lodge, 4 people per suite maximum..

A via ferrata is a path used to climb a mountain with a safety system permanently installed. It gives the chance to people without any experience in climbing, the opportunity to move through spectacular mountain scenery using a minimum of equipment.
The climber is permanently tied to a steel cable that runs through the entire route. Usually does not require any climbing rope. Metal ladders, bridges and similar facilities are used. This helps maintain the physical difficulty of climbing and mix beginners skills while providing access to a very high, and extreme vertical sections of a mountain, that could only be accessible to experienced rock climbers.

• Who can climb a via ferrata? Anyone who is in good health and physical condition is able to climb the via ferrata. The minimum age to climb the Sacred Valley via ferrata is 9 years old. Without exception, the via ferrata climbers must always be accompanied by a guide.
  
• What kind of equipement is used? A standard climbing harness, helmet, gloves and a via ferrata lanyard, (double system with strength dissipater especially designed for via ferrata climbers). All the equipement is certified CE. These elements will be provided by operator.
  
• Security at the via ferrata  The equipment used allows the person to remain tied to a “life line”, in this case a steel cable. Through the via ferrata lanyard the person can go up securing himself with the carabineers. If a fall occurs, the person will remain tide to the “life line” without any risk. All the guides are mountain guides trained in vertical rescue and ropes.
  
• What you need to bring? Use light clothing and good shoes (tennis, light hiking boots, etc.. No sandals). Note that as you go upper the weather will be colder and windy, you can carry extra clothing in a small backpack. Bring at least 1 lt. of water. You can bring your empty bottle and refilled with purified water we will have for you at our base.

The Sacred Valley zip-line gives people of all ages the opportunity to fly over this magical and magnificent valley, in a safe and fun way. The zip line has 7 lines or cables, from 150mt to 700mt, for a total of 2800mt. Starting with 30-40 minutes hike, easy and via ferrata equipped for more safety will take you to the first line. You will have a small via ferrata climbing (4 meters) so you can have a perfect idea on what is to climb a ferrata route. Each line is different from the other, you will start with an easy and short one and the circuit will allowed you to upgrade your zipline expertise. Check the combination tour via ferrata & zipline here.

• What is a zip-line or canopy? A zip-line (also known as a flying fox, foefie slide, zip wire, aerial runway) consists of a pulley suspended on a cable mounted on an incline. It is designed to enable a user propelled by gravity to traverse from the top to the bottom of the inclined cable, by holding on or attaching to the freely moving pulley.

• Zip-Line Security : All paths between lines are equipped with via ferrata system. The lines were extended, in a way, that people do not need any break system. The person loses velocity when she or he is getting closer to the end of the line. All guides are trained periodically in vertical rope rescue and First Aid.
  
• What you need to bring? Use light clothing and comfortable shoes (tennis, light hiking boots, etc.. No sandals). Use pants rather than shorts.
