Roche Veyrand via ferrata (Chartreuse)

Description

Come and explore the superb Roche Veyrand via ferrata, located above the village of Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont in the Chartreuse massif.

This via is made up of two distinct sections that climb up to Rocher Veyrand. The first, rather easy and reached after a walk in the forest, is a sequence of ladders and traverses, including a beautiful Himalayan footbridge, on pretty limestone and with a rather reasonable gradient. It's perfect for beginners and great fun for everyone, as the environment is sublime and the view of the high Chartreuse peaks incredible.

The second part is designed more for sporty types. After the warm-up of the first part, this section features a long footbridge, more overhanging walls and some great traverses! The last one is the most impressive, 200 meters above the ground!

The two sections can be linked, but you'll need to allow for a full day.

For other vertical adventures, you can also follow me on:

• the Bastille urban via ferrata in Grenoble,
• the Sautet lake via ferrata,
• the Cascade via ferrata in the Taillefer massif,
• the P'tchi via ferrata in the Bauges mountains
• or its neighbor, the Grotte à Carret.

Maybe you'll even want to go one step further and take an introductory climbing course around Grenoble.
