The via ferrata

Halfway between hiking and climbing, the via ferrata is an exciting activity that can be done with full safety and is accessible to supervised beginners. Equipped with a climbing harness and two tethers (two short ropes equipped with carabiners), you will scale the rocky walls: rope bridges, ladders, overhangs and other dizzying passageways are awaiting you!

The via cordata

The via cordata is close to climbing and the via ferrata.

You climb rock walls with the help of regular fixed protection points (every 2 or 3 meters), rungs and steps. The via cordata is done by twos with full climbing equipment.

An approach to climbing that is both sportive and fun, accessible even to supervised beginners.
