The Via Ferrata, like all mountain activities, can present objective dangers. <strong>ORGANIZE YOUR VIA FERRATA OUTING<\/strong><br \/>\n Choose a route adapted to your abilities and those of your companions. <strong>CHOOSE VIA FERRATA EQUIPMENT THAT COMPLIES WITH CURRENT STANDARDS <\/strong><br \/>\nHelmet, climbing harness with a via ferrata lanyard equipped with two safety carabiners with energy absorber. The lanyard (double lanyard or Y lanyard) is attached either to the harness bridge, tightened using a key or a sewn strap placed in a \u201clark\u2019s head\u201d position. During a roped progression, the members of the group can use a double lanyard (without energy absorber) in sewn strap or made with single-knotted dynamic rope, a pair of resistant gloves, warm and waterproof clothing, drink, energy food, first aid kit to deal with unforeseen events and sudden changes in weather conditions. Use light hiking shoes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1731152468528{margin-top: 10px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_328\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-328\" style=\"width: 1587px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-327 size-full\" title=\"Via Ferrata Souterrata Villefranche de Conflent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viaferrata66.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/11\/via-ferrata-souterrata-villefranche-du-conflent-04.jpg\" alt=\"Via Ferrata Souterrata Villefranche de Conflent\" width=\"1587\" height=\"794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.viaferrata66.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/11\/via-ferrata-souterrata-villefranche-du-conflent-04.jpg 1587w, https:\/\/www.viaferrata66.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/11\/via-ferrata-souterrata-villefranche-du-conflent-04-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.viaferrata66.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/11\/via-ferrata-souterrata-villefranche-du-conflent-04-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.viaferrata66.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/11\/via-ferrata-souterrata-villefranche-du-conflent-04-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.viaferrata66.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/11\/via-ferrata-souterrata-villefranche-du-conflent-04-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.viaferrata66.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/11\/via-ferrata-souterrata-villefranche-du-conflent-04-1320x660.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.viaferrata66.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/11\/via-ferrata-souterrata-villefranche-du-conflent-04-1400x700.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1587px) 100vw, 1587px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-328\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Via Ferrata Souterrata Villefranche de Conflent<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1732102582172{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #1e73be !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;blanc&#8221;]<strong>TECHNICAL DATA SHEET VIA FERRATA SOUTERRATA<\/strong><br \/>\n Territory: Conflent<br \/>\n City: Villefranche du Conflent<br \/>\nDepartment: Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es Orientales 66<br \/>\n Region: Occitanie \u2013 Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e <strong>Starting point:<\/strong> nearby car park <strong>Outward route: <\/strong> by small footpath on a path 5 minutes <strong> Level:<\/strong> F, length: 500 m, 20 m of positive elevation gain, rope bridge with cable passage, Tibetan bridge, zip line <strong>Return:<\/strong> by the same footpath on a path in 5 minutes. <strong> Distance to cities:<\/strong> Perpignan (54 km &#8211; 45 min), Argel\u00e8s sur Mer (75 km &#8211; 1h00), Saint Cyprien (66 km, 55 min, Canet en Roussillon (60 km &#8211; 50 min), Le Barcar\u00e8s (17 km &#8211; 1h00), Narbonne (111 km &#8211; 1h15), Montpellier (205 km &#8211; 2h20),<br \/>\nToulouse (260 km &#8211; 02h45).[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1731157108780{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #ff0088 !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;blanc&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>ADVERTISEMENT :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>THE VIA FERRATA ARE OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND EXCEPT DURING MAINTENANCE PERIODS.
