By leveraging digital media, the initiative seeks to increase visibility and interest in the Via Ferrata, ultimately contributing to the local economy and conservation efforts. The project underscores the importance of sustainable tourism practices, ensuring that the natural environment is preserved while providing exciting new opportunities for visitors.
