4 Days MALAYSIA Mt Kinabalu Via Ferrata (311,58 KB)


Mount Kinabalu, 4,095.2m is the highest mountain in Malaysia. It is also the highest mountain in the whole of Borneo, and the region between the Himalayas and the snow mountains of New Guinea.

The world’s highest via ferrata, Mountain Torq - which also happens to be Asia’s first -can now be found on Mt Kinabalu.

Mountain Torq’s via ferrata routes are designed with beginner to intermediate climbers in mind. The beginner’s route will let the climber take their first experience along the granite walls of Mt Kinabalu. The intermediate routes will take the climber on 3-4 hour journeys to experience the mountain’s breathtaking heights and sights. There is something for everyone – whether he or she is 10 or 70, a keen mountaineer or a casual holidaymaker.
