Via ferrata des Échelles de la mort

Mountaineering and Climbing

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. It's also advisable to inform your friends and family, and even the local tourist office, before venturing out. For beginners, certified guides are available to accompany you. Don't hesitate to consult your local tourist office for a list of available service providers if you're looking for a thrill!
