Description

Update information

Characteristics

Via Ferrata in a gorge above the river. At the beginning you climb over the tunnel and then the ferrata continues by the river. There are several bridges over the river, Nepalese bridge, and nice climbing over the water. Ferrata is not difficult, so we recommend it to beginners. At the end of the ferrata you can return or continue to the harder ferrata. Lots of securing for both feet and hands.

Arrival

By car to the village of Saint-Antoine. At the end of the village there is a parking lot right by the ferrata.

Approach

From the parking lot in front of the tunnel. The rope begins at the ferrata infoboard.

Exit

After climbing the ferrata turn right towards the parking lot
(if you turn left, continue to the next, harder ferrata and waterfall).

Interesting facts

- boarding right at the parking lot
- several bridges across the river
- you can continue to the next harder ferrata
