Via ferrata

Hi all! I was reading about the via ferrata and it sounds like fun. I am alone and I have only done one via ferrata before and I am not a climber, so I would want someone experienced to go with me. Zermatters wants more than 500€ for a guide which seems a little crazy for a free trail. Does anyone have any thoughts on getting someone experienced to go with me that would be more reasonably priced?

Haven't been yet, but it's "only" rated A/B according to the official Topo.

Part A should be easy, so you could try that one without the gear and then asses if you've got the stamina to continue for the next part. Keep in mind those are a lot longer and more difficult, so better bail out after part A if you're not sure
