Infos & BookingDescription
Halfway between hiking and climbing, I invite you to explore the Gresse-en-Vercors via corda, in a wild and magnificent setting.
This via corda is the perfect place to breathe fresh air and discover a fun, easy and sensational vertical climbing activity.
After an approach walk of around 3/4 hour, you will arrive at the foot of the cliff to begin the via corda. The route offers easy climbing, aerial walking, a few via ferrata sections with bars, a monkey bridge, a ladder and even a 25-meter abseil (avoidable, however, by taking a descending ledge). You will reach the summit of Le Palais at 1558 meters above sea level and enjoy an exceptional 180° panorama over the Trièves, the eastern barrier of the Vercors and the emblematic Mont Aiguille.
In short, you'll get a great view in a fabulous setting!
If this type of route appeals to you, I also offer:
- the Nose via corda in the Crossey gorges,
- the 3 Pucelles via corda overlooking Grenoble,
- the Choranche via corda in the Vercors massif,
- and the Virgin via corda above Saint-Martin-en-Vercors.
