Mende Cœur de Lozère via ferrata

Description

The via ferrata of "Mende Cœur de Lozère" is located not far from the town of Mende, on the causse of the same name. Come here to enjoy the Lozere landscapes by taking the height!

Between climbing and hiking, you will progress on vertiginous passages being secured on a cable and with the help of various elements of progression: bars, steps, cables, bridges, zip-line. Equipped with a harness, a helmet, a pulley and via ferrata lanyards, you will cross the obstacles to discover unique view.

The easy route is relatively horizontal and permits everyone to practice via ferrata and gain altitude. The difficult route is steeper for the more athletic and passes through the skylight, hole through which you will emerge in the middle of the cliff!

The via ferrata starts horizontally to gain height and reach a rocky cavity. It then splits into two routes of different difficulty. While the easy one follows a beam, the difficult one goes through a skylight and then a 6-meter vertical part which solicits strongly the arms. The two routes then join to cross, with a Nepalese bridge and a footbridge, to the base of a pillar of about thirty meters high. They separate again, easy horizontal crossing for one and difficult vertical section for the other, and meet one last time for the final 35-meter zip-line which is not mandatory (escape possible). A marked path finally leads to the start of the via and then to the parking lot.

Please come equipped: sneakers, small backpack, water, possibly gloves. And depending on the weather: rain jacket, sun cream, etc.
