How it works
A welcome session explains the safety rules and hands out equipment. With a harness and helmet, you climb a metal staircase built into the arch, with several stops. At the top you have time to enjoy the view before going back down. There are no ropes or climbing techniques (e-konomista).
Safety
The route uses fixed stairs and platforms, with permanent protection systems and specialised guides. The activity can be suspended in strong wind, heavy rain or thunderstorms. The operator says even people prone to vertigo can climb; if you have a heart condition or reduced mobility, ask your doctor before booking.
What to bring
- Closed non-slip shoes and comfortable clothes; avoid hats and objects that could blow away.
- Arrive about 15 minutes before your time (a tip from an operator's partner).
- Book ahead: access is by appointment.
