About via ferrata

You're in a harness with a safety line the whole way, and a certified guide takes you through the routines before you start. Both routes run on Saturdays: the yellow route suits you from 120 cm, the blue route requires 150 cm and ends with a zipline back to the ground. Popular for birthdays, stag and hen parties and team-building — and one of the few places you get this feeling without heading to the mountains.

Frequently asked questions

The most common questions about level, gear, age limits and booking.

  • Is there a via ferrata in Stavanger?

    Yes — Playground at Forus has an indoor via ferrata: a secured obstacle course 20 metres below the ceiling, with a harness, safety line and certified guide the whole way. The blue route ends with a zipline back to the ground. It is the only indoor via ferrata in the Stavanger region — normally you would have to head for the mountains; here it runs all year, whatever the weather.

  • How old or tall do you have to be for the high-obstacle course?

    Height is what counts, not age: the yellow route suits anyone from 120 cm, the blue route requires 150 cm. Everyone wears a harness with a safety line the whole way, and a certified guide walks you through the routines before you start.

  • Does the high-obstacle course need to be booked in advance?

    Yes — the course runs on Saturdays and is booked in advance as an add-on; it is not included in the drop-in ticket. See playground.no/priser for current prices, or book directly at playground.no/via-ferrata/book. A dedicated package exists for birthdays, stag and hen parties and team building.
