Mountaineering, climbing and via ferrata

Here, climbing is second nature: a tradition of mountaineering that has even been recognized by Unesco at Bessans and Bonneval sur Arc. There are numerous climbing routes to suit all levels, from beginner to advanced. Practice mountaineering, climbing or via ferrata at Haute Maurienne Vanoise and discover the mountains in a different way.

Qualified climbing guides and instructors invite you to discover this safe activity, which offers a different approach to the mountains. Events are also organized in summer to introduce you to climbing, mountaineering and rock-climbing.

Another climbing activity similar to rock-climbing and widely present in the region is via-ferrata. In Valfréjus, Aussois, Avrieux, Val Cenis and Bessans, walls have been equipped with rungs, ladders, steps and cables for this activity. With the right equipment and a minimum of experience, it's possible to practice independently, but it's advisable to hire a guide to test the via-ferrata in complete safety. On the Forts de l'Esseillon side of the Gorges du Diable, several spectacular routes combine to form one of the longest via-ferrata routes in Europe.
