Description

In the heart of the Pyrenees and just behind the French-Spanish border, this via ferrata is located in the Aran valley, near the small village of Les, close to Bossost.

Atypical because of its passage on a tower, this via ferrata offers you vertiginous and sports parts, but the multiple possibilities of itineraries allow to adapt to the levels and the desires of each one.

The first part proposes an ascending climb which alternates between walls, vertical parts and slabs, with some short descents. An escape route allows you to walk back down to the start if necessary.

The second part is climbing on wall, ledge, pillar, slab until a cable bridge and vertical passages which lead to a small summit where you can enjoy the panoramic view on the Aran valley.

The return is done by a nice shaded walk in the woods.

Want to try other vertical activities? Why not climb the via ferrata of Saint-Pé-d'Ardet on the French side of the Pyrenees or try rock climbing in Haute-Garonne?
