Route Planer: avoid Via Ferratas
Gathering feedback
Please avoid Via Ferratas (Openstreetmap-tag: highway=via_ferrata) in LoRouter and BRouter in all profiles, even in Hiking-profiles. Since Via Ferratas regard the wear of special climbing utilties, and special individual skills as well, they should just be part of special route profiles like "Via Ferrata" or "Climbing". I think this should be changed in LM3, LM4 and Webplaner as well.
Test location: From N 47.8731°, E 13.8326° uphill to N 47.8729°, E 13.8339° : don't use Via Ferrrata, but the longer "Hernlersteig" Nr.416 instead.
I like this idea 
You write avoid via ferrata. Then I have to actively select it.
It should be avoided by default for safety reasons. And then you can actively select “Allow via ferrata” in the walking profiles (all including hiking)
This is also the case in the bike profiles. The default is without steps and you can select Allow steps.

Yes, either your idea by using a default-off checkbox "use Via Ferratas" within Hiking profiles. And/or by providing special "Climbing" router profiles.
