Rent the safety kit to tackle the via ferrata to the Christ of Maratea.
In June 2021, the beautiful Via Ferrata to the Christ the Redeemer of Maratea was inaugurated, among the most picturesque via ferratas in Basilicata.
It’s a route of rare beauty that unfolds along the rocky ridge leading to the statue of the Christ of Maratea. As you climb, the panorama opens up to dominate the entire Gulf of Policastro. From the final Tibetan bridges, it feels like walking suspended directly over the boats of the port of Maratea, more than 600 meters below!
At Corso Garibaldi 2, at the Ivy Tour Basilicata office, located at the entrance of Piazza Buraglia in the historic center, you can rent safety kits to tackle the Via Ferrata to the Christ the Redeemer of Maratea or book your guided excursion with an alpine guide. For more information about the excursion with the alpine guide, click here.

Highly recommended!
Anyone who wants to discover the natural beauty of our beloved Basilicata region should turn to Ivy Tour Basilicata, with knowledgeable guides and interesting excursions.
I had the pleasure of being a guest of the very friendly and knowledgeable guides, Rocco and Emanuele. Thanks to them, I spent a wonderful day in Sasso di Castalda and Satriano. Beautiful villages to explore by wandering through the narrow streets, an exciting crossing on the Tibetan bridge, and a delicious lunch recommended by the guides. I recommend everyone to visit these places and rely on IvyTour's experience and hospitality!
