Via Ferrata near Montpellier, in the Hérault department | Languedoc-Roussillon

A Via Ferrata is a protected climbing route equipped with steel cables, ladders and other fixed anchors like suspended bridges and wooden walkways. It allows people to climb vertical walls, walk on ledges and reach the peak of mountains.

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
