Via Ferrata
Our Via ferratas
Via Ferrata fans will love this!
You climb, and climb, going higher and higher, and quickly start to feel the thrill and incredible sensation of ascending a rocky cliff-face. Tackle a series of obstacles: rope bridge, footbridges, ladders, all safely under control, follow the “rail way” (the Italian translation of ‘via ferrata’) in total safety,on your own or under the watchful eye of a guide.
In Coeur de Tarentaise, specifically in the Belleville Valley, you’ll find 2 open access routes : Le Cochet and Le Levassaix via ferratas (Belleville guides).
As a bonus, you’ll also be able to try via ferrata on the Lac de la Rosière in Courchevel (Aventure sensation).
