This guided via ferrata holiday is a great way for you to explore the delights of via ferrata in the French Alps. The via ferrata in France provide a fun, sporting activity.? The fixed equipment, cables, anchors, etc is well-maintained and inspected.

You will be immersed in the beauty and culture of the French Alps. Sparkling lakes reflecting the mountains. The sound of cowbells in the alpine meadows or the smells of pine resin wafting in the warm sunshine.

Choice of via ferrata

Each days’ via ferrata will be chosen according to the weather and the most suitable via ferrata for you and the group (how are via ferrata graded)? If the weather is suitable we will choose via ferrata higher in the mountains with great views of the peaks of the French Alps including Mont Blanc. Some routes can be accessed quickly from the nearest road whilst others may involve a short hike to the start of the route and a descent from the finish of the route.

Your base

Based out of Albertville, in the heart of the French Alps, it gives you the opportunity to discover a range of via ferrata in the region.

No Previous Experience Required

This is a perfect way to expand your horizons if you enjoy the outdoors and are looking for a challenge. There is no need for you to have previous via ferrata, or rock climbing, experience as you will be introduced in a gradual manner. Learn about via ferrata in my article Discovering Via Ferrata – An Introduction

Small Groups

Small groups, no more than 4, allow you to try out via ferrata under the watchful eye of Mark, your instructor. For those with no previous experience of via ferrata the first day will be carefully selected to give you an initial taste and to ensure that you learn to use the equipment in the right way. By keeping groups small your security and well-being is assured.
