A half-day Via Ferrata, pleasantly shady on summer days
A Via Ferrata that ascends a vertical pillar and is ideal to familiarise yourself with the exposure and the void. An escape is possible at mid-height and it permits us to adapt the outing to the group if necessary. A couple of dizzying vertical passages and a magnifique panorama awaits you on this Via Ferrata in Arsine, Hautes Alpes! Recommended from 8/10 years and up, this Via Ferrata permits the youngest ones, without vertige, to enjoy this family sport. (Possibility to do a climbing training to “test” yourself before climbing this Via Ferrata)
