Via Ferrata means the "Iron Road". This is a series of ladders and walkways on a rock face in Avoriaz. Imagine rock climbing, except they've put in a series of cables and giant steel steeples into the rock face for you. You will be taken be a professional guide who will supply all the ropes, harnesses and helmets. Quite an adventure indeed! If you find yourself hooked there are another 4 Via Ferrata courses within reach of Les Gets for you to try...
The same area also provides our local rock climbing. There's instructors who'll provide all the equipment you'll need along with lessons. It's available for those ages 6 and above. There's local climbing in both St Jean d'Aulps and Avoriaz within the Portes du Soleil. This is more at a beginner and intermediate level.
