Via Ferrata near Montpellier, in the Hérault department | Languedoc-Roussillon
Presentation
Via Ferrata is an intermediate activity between hiking and climbing. It means iron trail in Italian and the first trails were built during World War I by the italian army to reach difficult peaks and establish observation points to monitor the enemy’s position and movement. It is only since 1990 that it became popular in France and you can now find a lot of new routes in mountainous regions.
A via ferrata set is used to attach your climbing harness to the steel cable that runs along the trail and secures your progression. It allows you to reach challenging summits without advanced climbing skills.
You have 3 routes to choose from and each one is different in terms of location, landscape and features. To get more information on each route and find the one that fits you the most, you can select one of the activities below:
– Via Ferrata du Thaurac, in the Hérault department
– Via Ferrata du Vidourle, between the Hérault and the Gard departments
– Via Ferrata de Rousses, in the Lozère department (Cévennes)
