Description

Update information

Characteristics

Unlike most via ferratas, the most athletic passage is at the start. We climb a vertical rocky bastion, then a less inclined ridge before arriving at the footbridge. Escape at the end of the footbridge (climb to the right). The next step is a long and very varied traverse, with two rope bridges, a descent on a vertical rock face, followed by ledges and a fairly athletic final climb up a ramp.

Very close to the car park, it is possible to prepare or learn about the technical maneuvers of via ferrata progression. All the passages encountered above are reproduced close to the ground (footbridge, rope bridge, crossings, etc.). Useful and pleasant, especially for the youngest.

Arrival

Approach

On the Col du Glandon road, pass all the hamlets of St Colomban. The car park is on the right after the bridge at the exit of the village.

Descent

Descent is on a good path.
