Access

Cross the village of St-Colomban, you'll find the via ferrata by the exit to the right of the road. It is well signed.

Via Ferrata

This Ferrata is a bit of an original chef d'oeuvre.

You won't get bored, 1 footbridge, 2 rope bridges, the sensation of the void... everything is in place for your moment of pure pleasure.
The trickiest section is near the beginning, so you'll be caught. The first escape route is found after the footbridge. Next you go on a long and very aerial traverse with two rope bridges.

A few steep and athletic sections near the end offer themselves freely to your tired arms, who, by this point, are not asking for so much!

Way Back

Intuitive.

Features

Lots of fun, has a beam, bridge, and footbridge. This via ferrata is perfect for families and kids who are not too scared of a little void. There is a rope bridge facing the river and a 50m footbridge at the end of the route. Short, but nice.

It is possible to go on a zipline which is not linked to the via ferrata

You'll finish your outing by taking the Croix de la Faverie trail.

You have to pay. Have a bit more than 15 euros to include rental costs. Minors under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. For those who are 16 or older, a parental authorisation is necessary. One should not ignore the regulations, especially when a via ferrata is not free!

Via Ferrata de l'Aiguillette du Lauzet, Le Monêtier les Bains, Hautes Alpes

Caractéristiques

Une belle randonnée verticale qui remplit la journée, permet de s’offrir un sommet élégant à 2600m. Pas mal de marche dans un chemin ferré.

Ambiance haute-montagne.

Conseils ViaFerrata

La descente  s'effectue dans un véritable HLM à marmottes, à tes sifflets...  En fin de saison, les dites marmottes sont nettement plus grasses et lentes dans les déplacements. C'est une bonne époque pour les observer. Mais ne cours pas après... elles ont besoin de toutes leurs calories pour passer l'hiver.

Prends ton appareil photos car du sommet, ça vaut la peine.

Ne la faire que par beau temps car le coup d'oeil du sommet, c'est le su-sucre!

58km north of Menton and it winds and turns and winds. It's after the Gorges de Bergues and St-Dalmas-de-Tende (from here you can go the Vallée des Merveilles).

Tende, the highest village in the Roya valley is 9km away from the etrance of the Tende tunnel under the Tende pass (italian border).

By Train or Bus

From Nice towards Cuneo. Check with the SNCF: schedules and fares.

Access

The markings start from the parking lot at the Tende SNCF station. Via the "Rue de France" ("Road of France") you go up into the old city, then you tick-tock at the base of the "Tour de l'Horloge" ("Clock Tower") while you cross the cemetary...The path goes up above the village on the rocks of the  west slope of St-Sauveur.L

Via Ferrata

It starts off tough and with a fairly long hanging bridge! It's better if you already have a lot of via ferrata experience!

The climb is easy and there is quite a lot of contact with the rock. A footbridge brings you over a deep gap to get to the St.Sauveur Chapel where you will get onto a long zipline.

Grotte des Hérétiques: Things get more intense and the itinerary goes up the rock face progressively. It is impossible to go back at this point. You must keep going steadily, step by step (and the steps are far apart so take big strides- this is why children under 12 are not allowed on this via)

The via ferrata ends with the zipline.

Features

You are no longer allowed onto this via ferrata with your own equipment. For this reason, all the equipment has to be rented from the owner of the via ferrata: In Terra Corsa or Business is Business: +25 euros for 4h, +30 euros for the whole day with the option of doing two other via ferratas and 2 ziplines in the same area.

The surroundings are incredible, but the via ferrata was overly-cabled and there are escape routes all over the place. Two other via ferrats are located in this amusement park. The Manicella is the hardest of the three.

By Train or Bus

Check with the SNCF

Access

There is a In Terra Corsa adventure park. Normally there will already be some people when you arrive. Then you can let yourself be guided.

Via Ferrata

After several meters of ascent, squirm your way through the window, a small opening in the rock that will lead you to the "stretta di ventu" (wind draft). Wow there, more cable, but don't worry, it's so you can better admire the landscape.

You will then continue the progresson with a visit of the cave and the tower. A 7m footbridge will lead you across a chimney and then you will slide into the word of the tafoni, a result of erosion and a phenomenon that is particular to "l'Ile de Beauté" ("The Island of Beauty", another name for Corsica).

A few meters further and you will come to the Inclinatu (the overhang) and 200m of void. Very vertiginous and very tough on the arms... But wholly composed of beauty once you get to us passu (the passtime)... a superb hanging garden...a little break and then you go up between the rock faces and the void to the 540m Mont Al Lardo.
(Description: Gérard Papandréou)

Way Back

Something particular about this via ferrata is that after having climbed up the mountain, it is possible to go back down with 7 ziplines, up to 220 meters of zipline to go back to the valley!

Via Ferrata de Peille, Peille, Alpes Maritimes

Features

4 very different sections, and there is an escape possible before each: Hanging bridge, footbridge, a net over the void, technical parts, vertigo, and best of all an 80m zipline.

A beautiful via ferrata if you have mastered the technique and if you have experience.

You have to pay: 3 Euro for each adult, but it worths it.

It's also possible to do it at night. There are reserved nights.

ViaFerrata Tips and Tricks

Call before going as the number of participants is limited. You must reserve your seat!

Leave early in the morning...the traffic is as bad as in Los Angeles, minus the exhaust gas, at least that...

If the first part is too crowded you can start near the road for the second demanding part, but it's a shame to have come all this way to miss the first part.

Bring water. Full exposure to the Provence sun.

Don't bring beginners as it is not a via ferrata for first-timers. Some morons convince their friends to try this via ferrata as their first, but they are morons!
If you really want to do it as a first-timer, you can go with one of the available guides.

By Train or Bus

From Nice with the bus and a lot of time to spare.  Check with the SNCF: schedules and fares.

Access

In Peille, park in one of the public village parking lots made for those going up the via ferrata. Then cross the village to get your ticket at the bar and to get to the start of the via ferrata which is at the bottom of the village.

Via Ferrata

Le Baous de Caster: It starts off with a footbridge 30 pitiful meters above the ground. Then the proper via ferrata thrills begin with a first slab where an overhang might get you stuck. 300m of void. and behind you, before you transition onto a footbridge on the opposite wall, direct sunlight. If you don't want to cross this, there is an escape route...

Second section : It is strenuous and there are a lot of overhangs. The cherry on the cake is a hanging bridge with a magnificent view of the Peille village. A photo break is mandatory...

In the most eastern cave you can choose to keep going on to the next two parts or finish your adventure here. You can go on the infamous net or you can avoid it, but if you avoid it you still have to climb up!
At the top of the net you can zip off to the right to get on the easy variant or throw yourself into the Overhang of Justice. This section is reserved for skilled ferrata-ists and those who have strong arms. It need not be said that this is the thrilling section, even chilling.
Just above this variant you come to section that is not equipped with footholds, so it's all arm strength...or technique if you're holding us.

After that hard part: the Zipline. Be careful for the Zipline section! There is a mattress at the end of the zipline. It is there to save your life or a leg in case you need it! Do not use the Speed pulley from Petzl...if you don't weigh much, let yourself go. However, if you are heavier (90kg or more) brake because you might just end up testing the theory of the heavy thing against the insufficiently stuffed mattress..

Way Back

The way down towards the via ferrata... a real delight on a little shaded trail with a nice view on the cemetery.

Via Ferrata

The Prise de la Bastille via ferrata is made up of two parts.

The first part,
With a grade rating of difficult - you start off by climbing up a pillar and then traversing the entire Vicat Cirque,  which includes a rope bridge and two footbridges. A beautiful view on the city of Grenoble.

Part 2
To get to the second part take a trail through the Guy Pape Park which will lead you to the foot of the second section in 15 minutes (there are signs along the trail).

The second part is essentially an ascending traverse of an overhang, it's really strenuous and there is no where to rest. Two escape routes were put in place to allow those who are worn out to still make it to the summit. It's tough stuff, and it is for you, friend with experience and strength.

Once the second part is finished you go over another small projection which is followed by 150m of steps that lead you to the ancient fortifications of the Bastille.

Here, take a picture and post it on social media for all your friends to see, and don't forget to add: "I did it!"!

Way Back

To go back down there are two options: Either go up 15 minutes to the top of the Bastille Fort and then use the lifts to get back to the city center, or take the Jardins des Dauphins path which will lead you to Porte de France in 20 minutes.

Via Ferrata

The platform at the start of the Adult's via ferrata is the easiest way to get on, but for those who are "in a rush" there is an intermediary access point.

The beginning is in the forest, easy. Then a section that is a bit more technical and leads to a big, but easy climb, a little footbridge, and then it's down to the big 17m footbridge. Once you are on the other side there is a big, but nice climb all the way to the top of the via ferrata.

The Gouffre D'Enfer Valley (Hell's Abyss Valley) with its two stone dams and Roch Corbière climbing site is a superb setting.

On the Children's Via Ferrata: a 30m combination of gymnastic's apparatus, including a suspended net, small hops, a platform where you can rest, and swings. These have replaced the forest route which was originally installed in 2006. For children the via ferrata ends by going from tree to tree on footbridges.

Above the Souloise river, over 50 meters above, a rope bridge (the 14m long and I'm not even scared type) lets you go from one bank to the other

This via ferrata evokes two different kinds of feelings: the mountain spirit from the Baumes traverse and the spelunking one from the Vertigo route.

ViaFerrata Tips and Tricks

At the end of this via ferrata perade you will come across a rock climbing site in the Rif gorges as well as an introduction to canyoneering.

If you have time, go. It's always nice to discover new things.

By Train

Check with the SNCF: schedules and fares. But it's a nightmare to get there! There are connections with coaches and for those who can afford it, taxis. But that costs a bit more.

Access

From the Via Ferrata parking lot, cross the bridge and once you are on the bank, take the little trail going up.

Via Ferrata

What's special about this via ferrata is that there is a small cave to crawl through on all fours...Make sure you don't bring a big backpack.

The first part resembles a mountain trail and goes along the gorges 50m above the river. It's a good place to start for beginners. But, be careful, la Vertigo, which is yet to come, is on another level.

So if you are a beginner do not get this first easy part confused with the next part which is more sketchy and more like a real via ferrata.

Hint: Wear proper shoes, especially for when it's wet.

Via Ferrata Vertigo

The start of this demanding via ferrata is located on the right bank below the parking lot. You keep going on the same rock face to pass under the road bridge. A rope bridge (3m) connects this section with the old route and the footbridge.

It is a bit more vertiginous than les Baumes, but perfectly equipped. You'll head out into the gorges with the beautiful sound of the flowing water. The view from the traverse of the gorges is magnificent.

Way Back

You can get back to the parking lot in 10 minutes

Where to Spend the Night

Fontenil lodge

The La Souloise à Saint Etienne en Dévoluy Inn is the closest available accomodation to the via ferrata and you can also rent equipment there.

Via Ferrata Rocher Jaune / Tête au Chamois, Les Diablerets, Vaud

Features

Established during the International Alpine Film Festival on the 10th of October 1999, this via ferrata is also known by the name of "Tête au Chamois." It is located next to the first stop of the telecabine.

Setting: Splendid high mountain, a precipitious itinerary that offers a wide variety of terrain, alternating between comfortable sections on fairly wide ledges and impressive sections on slabs resembling climbing

Via Ferrata Tips

You have to pay for the cable car.
For the brave: from the village its 3h50 of walking there and back. Or buy only the way there and you can enjoy the way down... The Diablerets is an ideal region for canyoneering and mountain biking.

You are in a high mountain setting: Don't forget to take an extra layer and a jacket. Temperatures, even in the summer, can be cold. Excellent hiking shoes are necessary. The ground is often wet and slippery.

Legend has it that the people of this region are very attached to their money. So if a coin falls from your pocket and does not land on the ground, remember this!

By Train

Contact the SBB, for bus and train schedules and fares. Take the train to Aigle, the small train to Diablerets, then the bus for le Pillon

Access

Leave your car in the parking lot located at the base of the Diablerets glacier ski lifts.

By foot:
Several footpaths lead to the base of the glacier's cablecar, here is the shortest, but account for 1h40 of walking. From Corabs, take the Aigue-Noire trail, then the Cascade du Dar and Col du Pillon.

By cablecar:
Otherwise you can take the cablecar and the ferrata is located at the first stop, this is a faster, but more expensive option.

From the hut, take the trail that goes down on the right (follow the blue and white markings)

Via Ferrata

The Ferrata follows a vertiginous ledge that is more or les pronounced, sometimes interrupted for some meters, requiring traverses, descents or climbs up rungs or small steps. The surroundings are vertiginous.

You will go through a mini cave and the famous section with a small wooden beam. If you are lucky enough to be over 190cm tall: may the force be with you!

The end of the via takes place on a fairly demanding wall that climbs straight up and is well equipped but always has certain points of contact with the rock. This wall brings you to the end of the via.

Way Back

If you are on time, you will be able to take the cable car. If you are beat, stay at the hut.

Where to Spend the Night

You can find a camping and some nice rooms in guest houses in the Diablerets.
Diablerets Hut: 60 spots available 024/492 21 02. For  25.— Frs., you'll have a bed!

Via Ferrata Tour d'Aï, Leysin, Vaud

Features

 Vertiginous with a superb panorama on Lake Geneva, the Valais Alps, and Mt-Blanc. A bit difficult for children and beginners.

Some steps are a bit high/too far for people of average height.

ViaFerrata Tips and Tricks

Take your mountain bike (MTB) with you or rent one there, for the way down to Leysin is very nice.

A picnic is a must. At the summit of the via ferrata you can enjoy the incredible panorama while you eat.

Parking. We already received some messages from the Tourism Office and some inhabitants of Leysin lamenting our rant about the fact that there are no free parking spaces for the users of the via ferrata.
Consequently, we are making an effort to commend this great initiative to welcome tourists to the station with a fine if they do not pay for their parking and we really think its super cool and nice that they put a free parking lot 4km away from there. It would have been totally stupid for them to offer a combined lift and parking ticket for the users of the via ferrata as we suggested.

There are few indications and markings, so you must have faith. When you arrive at the summit of the lifts you will see the Kuklos rotating restaurant. Look towards the restaurant. A mountain with a cliff rises in the background to its right. This is where you will find the Tour D'Aï ferrata.

Go down the very steep trail that leads to some small houses and a charming lake. Once you are at the bottom, climb up the hill on the left following the cables and poles of the lift. You will find a little trail that will lead you to the start. (see the picture from the guide at the top of the page).

Via Ferrata

There are some difficult moves from the very beginning. If you get pass them... you should be fine for the rest. Otherwise, turn back now gringo!

A little traverse up and down... brings you to the foot of the chimney. You will have to get past it... it's a nice opportunity to play Santa Claus. We hope that after this you will realize how hard Santa really works and that this coming winter you will leave him some cookies by the chimney...

It's a bit overhanging at the end of the chimney, but only a bit, and you get to see the void all around you. You arrive tranquilly to the summit of this via. Just one more little section, great for photos. The summit of the via is almost a classic.

Once you arrive on the plateau, you can make the most of an unforgettable and splendid panorama.

Way Back

The way down is a bit athletic, around 40 minutes. Be careful, there have already been deaths.

Once you arrive at the lake, you can get your bikes (if you came with your MTBs)... and off you go, down either to Leysin or Aigle.

If you came by foot, the concept is the same, but the way down to Leysin is a bit longer.

Via Ferrata Tichodrome Noiraigue, Val de Travers, Neuchâtel

Features

Discover the Val-de-Travers from another perspective. Excellent vertiginous sensations.
It is closed annually from the 1st of January to the 1st of July so as to allow Peregrin Falcons, Kestrels, and Wallcreepers to nest in peace.

The entry and exit cables are removed each season, thus blocking access to the cliff.

ViaFerrata Tips and Tricks

This via is great for first timers and kids 10 or older, take your quickdraws as it is not equipped properly for you to secure your kids with a rope.

This area is rather humid. Good Vibram soles and hiking shoes are necessary. There is an antenna, go have a look at it to see the Neuchâtel lake.

A question for the champs:  Why is it called Tichodrome?
This is the French name for the bird that nests in these cliffs (Wallcreeper in English).

Access

On foot, you can get to the beginning of the Via Ferrata from the Ponts-de-Martel station (45 minutes), from the Noiraigue station (1 hour), or from the Haut de la Côte restaurant (10 minutes).

From the parking, go briefly along the ridge on a marked trail and then head right towards the asphalt road lower down. Cross this road and go through the forest until you get to the start.

Via Ferrata

A nice ledge above Noiraigue.

Michel Gentil and his association, "Via Ferrata et escalade sportive" dug into this rock over time to make a very enjoyable via ferrata out of this ledge. The equipment and information he used were very carefully chosen. There is only one section that could make those who are less brave shudder, an overhanging section.

Magnificent view on the Neuchâtel lake at the top of the via.

You start by crossing a rocky projection on the way up by passing on natural ledges. Easy sections alternate with vertiginous sections where the cable is not completely taught and you hang out over the void. A good dose of void stretches out below your feet at the Nest Overhang. The itinerary splits before the view point (1,119 m), but this view is absolutely worth the detour.

Way Back

You can either go left along the ridge on the higher altitude Jura trail towards the start (and return to the train station) or you can go on the forested ridge that overlooks the restaurant parking. It is well indicated.

Where to Spend the Night

All the information for where to spend the night,  to eat, to go on beautiful hikes, or to discover the Val-de-Travers region, its museums and its particularities, is available from the Neuchâtel Val-De-Travers Tourism.

Via Ferrata Voie Hohl, La Face, Moleson, FribourgFerrata Voie Hohl, La Face, Moleson, Fribourg

Features

Splendid panorama, long, varied. Not for beginners even if the final exit was made easier. In fact, the last overhang, which hung over the rest of the via, was completely taken down because it had the tendancy of creating traffic jams because of those who overestimated their capacities.

Cost: 4 Frs.-- for adults, 2 Frs.-- for children.

ViaFerrata Tips and Tricks

Take a picnic with you. The panorama at the top of the via ferrata is truly something to be savoured and the restaurant accepts picknickers! (buy a drink... they are nice...).
The via is entirely in the shade. Take an extra layer in case it's cold...

The Moléson is a superb resort!!! After the via you can enjoy summer sledding,devalkarting, or grass-scootering.

The lifts are open at 9h00. Make sure they are open if you want to take the funicular to get to the via ferrata.

What to eat in this region: the double Gruyère cream with the Gruyère meringues.

Go to Bulle and then by bus or train to Gruyère.
From Montreux: Montbovon to the Gruyère train station, then by bus to Moléson-sur-Gruyères.

Contact the SBB, for schedules and fares.

Access

Its very easy. At Moléson, park near the start of the Funicular.

From the Moléson-sur-Gruyères parking, go towards Plan-Francey on foot (1h15) or with the funicular (7 min, leaves every 20 min, at...h00,...h20,... h40). (14 Frs.-- there/back)

In Plan Francey you can rent via ferrata equipment.

From Plan-Francey follow the Via Ferrata signs for about 20 min and you will reach the base of the rock face. The route is in the rock face on the right, and not the via ferrata that is found on the ridge on the left.

Via Ferrata

The Via Ferrata traverses the north face of the Moléson, passing by the cross of the Petit Moléson and arriving at the summit of.... try to guess: the Moléson.

This is not a via ferrata for beginners and we always find some fools stuck on the way. Mountains are something to be respected!

The start is fairly simple, and makes for a great warm up. You climb in some beautiful chimneys that are sometimes a bit athletic. The route was wonderfully traced.

You are given the pleasure of a few overhanging sections... and they are a tad bit strenuous. These sections are not very long... and there are always some flatter areas nearby to rest. The closer you get to the summit, the more strenuous it is. A very nice climb in a chimney with a section that works the arms and is a bit more demanding.

The last part is absolutely amazing. Since there were too many fools who came to this via ferrata for an introduction and ended up getting stuck, the last overhang was removed.

The via is really well equipped. At times there is even a bit too much equipment, but you have the opportunity to be in contact with the rock. It's very enjoyable.

For taller people (like the guy writing this right now) its a bit complicated since you are often in overhanging sections.

Way Back

From the summit, you can go down on foot via Tsuatsaux (2h30 to the parking), via the Gros-Plané (1h45 to the parking) or with the cablecar (4 min to the upper train station).

Where to Spend the Night

Contacte the Tourism Office. The Moléson is a really nice resort.

Via Ferrata Loèche, Loèche in Valais

Features

The longest via ferrata in Switzerland (time)

There are two ferratas to choose from:
- Mieläs-Loèche les Bains, the easiest, with 5 ladders
-Daubenhorn, with an incalculable number of ladders and 6 hours worth of via ferrata.

ViaFerrata Tips and Tricks

The probability of receiving a pebble on your head is as high as the expensive cost of the obligatory parking lots in Loèche.

The traditional metal steps in the rock were replaced by some stakes, some nails. If you fall it hurts and you can be skewered. You have been warned.

Stiff hiking boots are necessary to walk on the stakes and for the way down (on the snowfield).

If rain is in the forecast, abandon any plans for climbing because of falling rocks (which in dry weather are already frequent). Personally, I would never bring a child here!

Take at least 1,5 liters of water, for the via is very long.

Park your car at the bottom of the lifts. It is the least expensive parking lot of the resort.

The last lift to go down is at 18h. If you do not want to endure one hour of downhill, leave early in the morning.

Grade for Mielas

Grade for Daubenhorn

Information

Office du Tourisme de Leukerbad

Length and Altitude

Start: 2'060 m
Summit of the Via Ferrata: 2'941 m 

Time of Year

July to end of September.

Timing

Mieläs-Loèche les Bains; about 5h
Daubenhorn; about 8h, 6 hours of via ferrata, 2h of downhill

By Car

From Geneva take the highway towards Lausanne-Sion. From Chamoix and Aosta go towards Martigny and then towards Sion.

After Sion, continue towards Sierre- La Souste and then zoom zoom towards Brig.

In Susten, go left towards Loèche les Bains, or Leukerbad (over there they speak German)

Drop your car off in front of the Gemmi lifts, it's cheapest and most practical solution. All the parking lots of the resort are paying and are watched with the eyes of a hawk. The debts accumulated by the old big shots of the region have not all been paid off yet!

By Train

Go to Sierre with the train and then take the bus from the train station. Contact the SBB schedules and fares.

Access

De la station du téléphérique (2'346 m) jusqu'à l'ancien chemin de la Gemmi et l'ancienne voie du col après quelques tournants (des rampes partiellement), puis en redescendant jusqu'à la Untere Schmitte où un panneau indique la via ferrata (env. 2060 m), 20 min.

From the lift station (2,346 m) to the old Gemmi trail and the old route for the pass, after a few turns (partially with handrails), and then going down to the Untere Schmitte where a sign points out the via ferrata (about 2060m), 20 min.

Little via ferrata : A well marked trail goes through a first incline, and then starting at a wild cirque flattens out until you reach the first cables of the via.

Via Ferrata Part 1: Mieläs:

You start this jam-packed day with a long traverse between rock and trails. It looks a lot like climbing. You are constantly in contact with the rock. There are few stakes and no steps. You have the option of either clutching the cable or playing with the rock.

Here, a surprise, you will discover the first aldder. You won't need to take a picture, it's not the last one you'll see... this via is a series of ladders!!!

Before getting to the junction of the Daubenhorn via or the junction that allows you to go back down to the Gemmi, 76 m of ladders await you.

Beginning of the 2nd part - The Chimney

You have chosen, then, the most athletic option of the day. This part is fairly dangerous. The void is ever present. A very beautiful section in the cavern is the source of a rather refreshing and relaxing moment, which is much appreciated before attacking a section that is a bit more strenuous and slightly overhanging.

At the summit, take a little break to sign the golden book and then keep going on to the final part.

Be warned! If you eat your munchies here, make sure that you are on the true summit. Some are tricked and believe they are finished when actually...

The last ladder is fairly strenuous, especially because of the fatigue accumulated during the day.

The last part was made longer with the addition of an extra section through a sort of tunnel. This is, however, a physical variant, and you can avoid it.

Way Back

Account for 1h30 to 2h.
Go onto the snowfield and exit on the left at the bottom. The trail is marked with red and white markings.
 

Where to Spend the Night

Contact the Tourism Office. It's not easy to find a place to catch some zzzzs. There are plenty, but the resort is not very affordable.

Via Ferrata des Rochers de Naye, Montreux, Vaud

Features

One of the most beautiful via ferratas in the world with a splendid view on Lake Geneva. Lots of contact with the rock for both hands and feet. A gem!

Not for everyone. Reserved for those with experience and strong arms.

The last part is opens only on the first of July (due to nesting birds)

ViaFerrata Tips and Tricks

Bring your MTB aboard the Golden Pass train and also a camera because the landscape is splendid. You can ride down all the way to Montreux. Nonetheless the Golden Pass train costs an arm and a leg.

You can choose to go down the caverns (on the way back). Bring a headlamp and try not to wear white pants!

Take some good hiking shoes (with vibram). You'll be in contact with the rock frequently and sometimes with muddy earthy grass sections. It is prohibited to wear tennis shoes (as it is, in fact, for all via ferratas).

By train

Via the Golden Pass from Montreux to the Rochers de Naye. Get off at the Jaman stop.

36.-- Frs per person there and back (18.-- with the half-fare)

Access

From the Jaman station, the via ferrata is located straight ahead of you.

Go down the path to the ruins of an ancient mountain pasture chalet. Follow the markings to the via ferrata.

Via Ferrata

The via ferrata is located between the Tour de la Chaux de Naye and the Rochers de Naye of the north-west side.

The beginning of this via ferrata is a selective process: a vertical 50m rocky spur and you will reach a ladder.

You keep going on a narrow ramp that leads out onto a series of grassy ledges which bring you to the bottom of an escape route.

If you are in shape and feeling good, keep going on the trail that goes down. Otherwise, opt for the escape route that goes up.

If you keep going, you are going to have to face the void and especially the rock wall (sometimes overhanging) that really works your arms. It is demanding and takes a lot of energy (not for beginners).

Way Back

Two options:

Option A: 5  minutes to the train from l'Hôtel de Naye towards Montreux (18.-- Frs to get to Montreux or 9.-- Frs to Montreux with the half-fare)

Option B: through the caverns

If you go through the caverns, each person must have a headlamp. It is very beautiful, and you must not be too big as there is a pretty narrow section. It's vertiginous. Account for 1h45 to get back to the Jaman train stop.
