Description

I invite you to follow me on the Malamort via ferrata to fill up with thrills and spills and discover diferently the Sor gorges above Durfort, a small artisan village in the Montagne Noire.

In the heart of the Tarn region, this route, which is accessible to beginners and children aged 7 and over, is perfect for discovering via ferrata activity and enjoying a beautiful environment and magnificent views.

After a ten-minute approach walk in the woods, it's time to tackle the equipped course in the cliff.

The first part takes place in a peaceful forest setting, crossing several times over the tumultuous waters of the Sor: two footbridges and a Tibetan bridge allow you to pass between the cliffs overlooking the Malamort chasm. The via then divides momentarily into an easy and a more difficult section, which meet before the first zip line. After this one and a short common part, the routes separate once and for all: the easier via ferrata offers a traverse over rock before a long zip line that leads back to the approach path. The more challenging route, meanwhile, continues to gain height, taking in a few small walls and two vertiginous crossings over a Tibetan bridge and then a monkey bridge, before also ending with a zip-line.
Finally, whichever route you take, after a well-deserved break by the water, it is time to take an easy walk back to the parking lot.

All in all, this via ferrata is a fun, accessible and enjoyable itinerary.

Please note that the Malamort via ferrata is suitable for people over 1.40 meter tall and weighing at least 45 kg.

If you are interested in other routes in the Tarn region, I also suggest the Arnette gorges via ferrata in Mazamet. You can also follow me on an extraordinary adventure and spend a night on a cliff in the Pyrenees or Occitanie or discover indoor climbing in Toulouse.
