Intermediate Via Ferrata from 12 years old for a gentle introduction to this activity in Saint Paul de Fenouillet. The route is a mix of the two traditional routes, always supervised by a French state-certified climbing instructor.
This route is a mix of the two main Via Ferrata, the Pichona and the Panoramique. It is a little less sporty than the Panoramique but it allows you to climb to the great heights of the walls. It is ideal for people with good physical and athletic condition.
The session lasts between 2h30 and 3h00.
Supervised by an instructor specializing in the activity, for 3h00, you will always evolve in a vertical universe but also on suspended cables by crossing rope bridges and Tibetan-type Himalayan bridges. You will discover the different vertical climbing techniques on Via Ferrata. [
Use of lanyards with carabiners on cable to move vertically and horizontally in safety. The gradual ascent of the various obstacles allows you to progress peacefully on the wall, while enjoying exceptional views of the whole of the Fenouillèdes, the Canigó, the fault of the Gorges de Galamus and the Puig de Bugarach in the Aude. After enjoying a superb view of the valley all along the climb, the return by a steep path will also allow you, in the scents of thyme from Fenouillèdes, to discover depending on the season the flora of this limestone massif such as immortelles, flowers of the cottony rock rose and occasionally come across the flight of a few birds of prey nesting in the surrounding cliffs.
