Via ferrata in Drôme Vercors
Via Ferratas in Diois and South Vercors
Via ferrata is halfway between hiking and climbing. The ascent is made with the help of a long double which lets you self-insure on the safety cable..
The via ferrata route comprises cables, rungs, ramps, ladders of an aerial and sometimes sporty nature..
These are divided into sections of varying difficulty, with escape routes allowing them to be carried out in sequence.
The Diois valley and the Vercors, surrounded by these legendary limestone cliffs, provide a fantastic setting for via ferrata.
