Via Ferrata


How about climbing the north face of the Moléson using the Via Ferrata. Rising by almost 400m and equipped with rungs sealed into the rock face, Alpine routes like these provide exciting experiences with every safety measure guaranteed (thanks to there being all the way up the mountain a cable of over 1300m, and the availability for hire on the spot of the equipment one needs).
Routes using “le Pilier” or “la Face”.
