A via ferrata is a sporting route that runs along walls or rocky peaks equipped to facilitate progression using elements that guarantee safety during the route such as steps, carabiners, ramps, handrails...
This sport requires the proper physical conditions, technical knowledge and the right equipment.
Be sure you are familiar with the environment, check the weather and in the event you lack experience and equipment, find a professional or a company to accompany you, join a club or take a course.
