Description

Update information

Characteristics

An entertaining ferrata in a canyon above the river. Those who did the first INITATION ferrata can follow on this Sportive ferrata. There is a Nepalese bridge over the river, a traverse, a perpendicular climb under a stone stuck in the gorge. After this stone you walk and at the very end of the vertical climb to the finish. Ferrata is really excited and sometimes heavy, pulling your hands. The river will roar under you all the time.

Arrival

To the village of Saint-Antoine and at the end of the village is a parking lot right next to the ferrata.

Approach

1) You will go to the INITATION ferrata right next to the parking lot and after that turn left around the waterfall, then left down to the river and here is the start of the Sportive ferrata.
2) You descend from the Initation and go around the first ferrata, past the waterfall and turn left to the river where the Sportive ferrata begins.

Exit

Descend back to the parking lot, you can't be lost.
