Characteristics

The rock above the town of Ornans extends over a length of 360 meters and offers a 260 meter long basic variant of a via ferrata. This variant runs largely in a traverse style and offers a variable short section with difficulty D. Otherwise it is predominantly graded with difficulties from B to B/C. There are several bridges, with the longest being at the end. Thanks to an escape option, this bridge and the variable D-section can be bypassed.

Arrival

Head towards Besançon and the village of Ornans to the museum car park.

Boarding

First on the walkway and then on a path up to the northwest conspicuous rock. The start of the Via Ferrata is on the right side of the rock, to the left of the normal route.

Exit

The descent takes place via the normal hiking trail.

Interesting facts

On the rock there is also a longer variant with difficulty E, which forms an independent via ferrata, as well as a short variant with difficulty E/F.
