Roqueprins via ferrata in La Canourgue (Lozère)

Description

In an exceptional and vertiginous environment, the Roqueprins via ferrata offers different fun routes on the rocky bastions located 350 meters above the village of La Canourgue in Lozère.

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

The outing will be adapted to the level of each: the AD (somewhat difficult) route allows you to discover the activity and to get your bearings with the height without too much difficulty. The D (difficult) course, which is deliberately not very well bolted, allows the most adventurous to challenge themselves in the vertical net of 11 meters facing the void.

The via ferrata starts with a 30 meter zigzag vertical descent to reach the first monolith. The two options, easy and difficult, are then offered to you (the difficult one proposes a vertiginous atmosphere and a more technical progression with more natural holds) until they meet to cross the large footbridge of 30 meters, located at about fifty meters of the ground. Then it is still possible to choose between the difficult vertical net and the easier route to arrive at the long Nepalese bridge of 35 meters. Then come various Nepalese and cable bridges with different difficulties, as well as the zip-line which is optional.

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

If you are interested in other vertical adventures in the region, I also offer:

• Mende via ferrata in Lozère and its zip lines.
• Rousses via ferrata, adapted to families and taking place in a bucolic environment.
• Rochefort via ferrata, extremely difficult and impressive.

Or in a slightly different style, you can try the Canourgue via corda located in the same village, with its beautiful abseiling.
