From the Oisans massif :

An unusual way to discover this massif, the "via ferrata" is a safe sports route in a vertical environment, situated in a rock face equipped with metal elements (steel cables, ladders, ramps, etc.). A few vertical passages allow you to learn the basics of climbing and to get used to the feeling of emptiness. Reserved for those who are not afraid of heights.
"In Oisans, the vertical playgrounds are inexhaustible and climbing is a fascinating and exhilarating game. In an exceptional setting, this is an introduction to the joys of climbing. The high mountain guides will help you discover the most beautiful routes in complete safety.
