Mountaineering and climbing Franche-Comté

After the acrobatic courses in the trees or on walls, here is the Accropont which will suspend you at 72 m high! Held by your harness, you are not in the trees but hanging under the big viaduct of Villards-d'Héria with a breathtaking view of the valley. Three possibilities are available to you: the Toddlers course with a zip line accessible from 4 years old, the Emotions course, 7 zip lines from 100 to 150 m long, from 2 to 27 m high, and the Grands Frissons course, 10 zip lines from 100 to 300 m long, from 8 to... 72 m high.

Opened in 2012, this via ferrata is becoming an essential part of the region. This 350 m ski hiking route runs through the «Sous» cliff and offers stunning views of the lake Vouglans and its surroundings. Neither too simple nor too athletic, it allows everyone, according to its abilities, to begin to embark on this type of touristic-sports excursion thanks to 2 itineraries. Take an average of 1 hours to make this trip as a couple, group or family.

Combining adrenalin, respect for nature and affordable prices can be a challenge, but via ferrata has succeeded brilliantly. This activity, a blend of hiking and climbing, offers the chance to explore otherwise inaccessible landscapes, while guaranteeing the safety of participants. On the Echelles de la Mort site, you can enjoy the unique experience of progressing along a cliff face, using monkey bridges, Nepalese bridges and even a 60-meter-long zip line, in the skin of a former smuggler. If you don't have your own equipment, you can rent it on site at the Combe-Saint-Pierre adventure park. Access to the site is free, but equipment hire is required if necessary. You can rent equipment at the Combe-Saint-Pierre adventure park on weekends in May, June and September (afternoons only), and every afternoon in July and August. Before embarking on a via ferrata, it's imperative that you have the right equipment and are fully conversant with its use and climbing techniques.
