Via Ferrata
The void makes itself felt right from the start of the via ferrata. The first 100 meters are steep and then you get to a grassy ledge where you can rest a bit.
The second section is a bit less vertical. You will discover some new ledges where an isolated spruce presents itself for the perfect snack break.
The last part is not very steep and quite simple.
Way Back
With the gondola, or follow the trail that goes northwest and connects the "Deux Alpes." It takes approximately 45 minutes to 1h on foot and less if you brought your MTB.
