Via ferratas are routes equipped with cables and ladders that allow people without climbing experience to enjoy the breathtaking landscapes of the mountain while being accompanied by an experienced guide.
Originally installed in the Dolomites in Italy, the "Vie Ferrate" were developed to facilitate the transport of men and equipment in the mountains.
Today, via ferratas are made for sport and the interest that their route provides with sensations halfway between climbing and vertigo hiking.
Take some height to treat yourself to unique views of the Aravis. The guides from the La Clusaz office are here in their playground. They will make you appreciate the activity while sharing their passion for the mountains.
