This Via Ferrata is a south-facing mountain wall. The route runs along an open rock face: rocky passages formed by a succession of ledges, water springs and overhangs. Three sections: the cabri, chamois and ibex, which may or may not be connected. Numerous athletic passages, more or less persistent in the 2nd and 3rd sections, are to be taken by experienced or guided climbers.
Grading: 3 sections AD+, TD, TD
Length: 900 m
Duration :
1st section 1h
2nd section 1h45
3rd section 2h30
Departure altitude: 1030 m
Maximum altitude: 1325 m (arrival altitude)
Approach time: 15 mins
Return time: 30 to 45 mins (fairly slippery)
Special features: many rungs, little contact with the rock.
Height required: 1.40 m minimum.
Equipment hire at Bouvet Sport, the Arbr'acadabra adventure course in Abondance or at Trincaz Sports in La Chapelle d'Abondance.
This is an interesting route of the sporting genre: a large, tough crossing, characterised generally, but especially at the beginning and end of the route, by large, smooth slabs with a direct climb. The difficulty of these 3 sections is progressive with short overhangs and long overhangs. Two swerve routes separate the sections allowing the return via the upper section. The route is normally rock solid with some good rock holds.
