Jules Carret via ferrata (Bauges, Savoie)

Description

I would like to take you on a tour of the spectacular via ferrata Jules Carret in the heart of the Bauges massif in Savoie. This itinerary is for adventurers who want to enjoy a physical outing for half a day in the heart of nature.

There's no time to get bored on this route! The unusual, physical start in the famous "Grotte à Carret" (Carret's cave) ensures that you are well motivated, before taking to the heights and experiencing the thrills and spills of the magnificent course.

After the start in the cave, you will go on to pass through an arch, traverse a vertiginous slab, cross a monkey bridge, beams, rungs and a 35-meter footbridge, all on incredible rock! Everything to enrich your vertical pleasure. For adventurers who prefer to enjoy the scenery in an equally magical environment, you can choose the neighboring, easier route known as the "P'tchi".

As the cliff faces due south, the Grotte à Carret via ferrata is enjoyable all year round, except of course during the hot summer mid-days.
