The "Découverte", or beginner's route (2h), leads off to the right and evolves over rocky ledges.
The "Sportive" route (2h30) gets to the heart of the matter with a pretty vertical wall, then a fairly long aerial slab followed by a few easy jumps.
Once at the top, the parking lot is a 5-minute walk away.
Although not particularly technically demanding, Via Ferrata climbs do require suitable equipment: harness, helmet, lanyards, ropes and karabiners.
Qualified instructors offer half-day outings.
