Via
Ferrata
The via starts with a 80 m. wall until the "jardin
méditerranéen suspendu".
Then,
you'll cross a monkey bridge 30 m near a cascade.
At this point, only 100 m. drop will be on the menu.
At the
top of the via, take a look at the Verdon, the Estéron,
the Vésubie, the Roudoule, the vallée du Var, and villages
of Mallaussène, Villars sur Var and the Entrevaux...
Then,
after this wonderful view... you go down for few meters
and a 35m monkey bridge... brrr... At this point, a loophole
allows you to escape it.
The sommet
is at (777 m) and if you decide to go down, you may enjoy
the zip line, but a second loophole allows you, one more
time, to avoid this particular attraction.
Where to sleep?
