Via Ferrata
A platform at the start of the Via for adults provides more comfort for boarding, and those “in a hurry” can access the Via via an intermediate entrance.
The beginning is in the forest, easy. There comes a more technical passage which continues with a large, fairly easy climb, a small footbridge, then a descent to the large 17 m footbridge. Once on the other side, great nice climb to the top of the via ferrata.
Superb setting in the Gouffre d’Enfer valley with its two stone dams and the Roche Corbière climbing site.
On the Children’s Via Ferrata: a mixed apparatus of 30 m, consisting of a suspended net, jumps, a rest platform and swings replaces the forest course originally installed in 2006. For children , the via ends by going from tree to tree with footbridges.
Back
Fairly easy to find your way around.
Or sleep
Camping, gites in St Genest Malifaux (4 km) and plenty of opportunities on site
