Roc d'Anglars sporty via ferrata (Tarn-et-Garonne)

Description

I would like to take you on an itinerary which is a variant of the classic Roc d'Anglars via ferrata in Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, Tarn-et-Garonne. Longer, more athletic and vertiginous, but without being extreme, it nevertheless requires a minimum of physical condition and will give you a good height under your feet ;-)

This via ferrata offers an exceptional panorama and, depending on the variant chosen, allows you to practice climbing, abseiling, zip-lining... as well as discovering the flora and fauna that surround us.

The Roc d'Anglars via ferrata climbs on a cliff that mainly takes place in the shade, so it is very pleasant even during the summer and as soon as temperatures rise. It offers a very lovely view on the medieval village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val and the Causse du Quercy. It is also located just a few minutes from the Aveyron river, a perfect place to have an after-sport swim or a drink in one of the "guinguettes".
The minimum age for the tour is 12, with a minimum weight of 40 kg.

After a pleasant approach walk to the base of the cliff, the Roc d'Anglars via ferrata consists of a long and ascending traverse from the left to the right, with varying degrees of difficulty and ascent. Some section are common to all routes. But whatever the itinérary, you will quickly gain height until you reach a wide and vertiginous ledge where several choices are available to take you higher and higher ;-) The via ferrata can include climbing, abseiling, a zip-line and... a few surprises (no, I won't tell you more about them ;-)

In case you prefer to climb an easier route, I would better recommend the classic Roc d'Anglars via ferrata.

If you fancy another vertical adventure in the region, you can follow me on the Roc du Gorb via ferrata above Bor-et-Bar, Aveyron. It is also possible to complete the day with an introduction to climbing on one of the cliffs around Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, or a little further afield on the Roc du Gorb cliff.
