Durance Gorges Via Ferrata - RED
Picture yourself suspended above churning turquoise waters, the cool breeze of the Hautes-Alpes on your face, facing limestone cliffs sculpted by time. Welcome to the Gorges de la Durance via ferrata in L'Argentière-la-Bessée!
Located at the gateway to the magnificent Écrins National Park, this site is a true vertical paradise where adrenaline meets the wild beauty of nature. Whether you are here for a fun family outing or to challenge yourself against the heights, you are in for a spectacular experience.
This via ferrata features two routes: a green "discovery" course—where you can choose to stop if that’s enough for you—and a red "sport" course.
The Green Course (Ages 6+): Ideal for a first family experience. You traverse right above the Durance River, crossing a fantastic Himalayan-style footbridge, with exit points available if needed.
The Red Course (Ages 11+, minimum height 1.40m): Time to step it up a notch! It features slightly more physically demanding—yet accessible—sections, airy rock traverses, and a fantastic atmosphere.
