Via
Ferrata:
The ferrata starts with an easy and ascending path. Near
a cave, you arrive on a grassy plateform the Vire de l'Ours
Go
up on your left, then vertically for ten meters to
le passage de la barme aux Corbes,
you arrive on second grassy plateform.
Go
up the cliff on your right. At the top of this cliff you have
to option to take a loophole. Be Careful:
your friends are just below you, and a rolling stone could be
very hazardous for them...
If
you decide to continue, take on your right... you will have
some vertigo sensations... You will reach soon a Footbridge
(15m.) Then, it becomes very physical... until a 8 m. ladder.
Then
you will go down and go back again in the traversée
de l’Ally, and you will reach the top of the Mont.
On
the way back, follow the signs. 20 minutes
