Characteristics
Relatively short and simple ferrata situated on a cliff overlooking the Gardon river.
Be sure to take the pulley with you. On this ferrata there are two nice flying-foxes (Tiroline) and although both can be bypassed it would be a shame not to test them.
The bonus - a river to refresh in afterwards.
Arrival
Get to Collias. An easy option is to park in "Parking Colias" (Pl. du Marché - 43.953522, 4.479508).
Approach
Once parked, head to the end of the parking lot (towards the river) and walk down the trali towards the river. When you get to the dirt road parallel to the river, turn right and walk downriver.
Signs will point you to the starting point.
Descent
Starting off with a cliff climb you'll eventually get to a junction - turn left and head up to the first tiroline line or left, to continue the trail. The first tiroline is nice, but note that the approach is challenging, with some interesting moves and passages. It's worth the effort, though.
The first tiroline ends in the junction, from where you continue the trail to another tiroline.
From there the descend eventually takes you back to the dirt road. The last section is not rigged, so beware of slipping.
Points of interest
The Gardon river. A rock shaped to enable jumping to the water from a multitude of heights.
