The Maurienne is full of many via ferrata, and in particular, those of the Devil in Aussois! Come and discover them with the Savoie Maurienne Guides Office. Unusual routes are also available! Let yourself be tempted by the adventure!

A via ferrata is a mountain route designed for beginners: it is a general public activity aimed at all those able to climb a ladder.

Via ferrata are practicable all year round, depending on weather conditions.

There are via ferrata of different types and of different levels but all have in common the use of a cable, the lifeline, on which the ferratist "clips" to make sure. The development of practitioners takes place in a steep, sometimes aerial environment.
The rocky parts are usually equipped with ladder rungs sealed into the rock. Sometimes there are walkways, monkey bridges or other types of fun workshops.
