Just 20 minutes from Chambéry, this via-ferrata is considered to be one of the toughest in France! With its athletic and very physical sections, this route is for trained climbers only!
Car park at the Col de la Doriaz. The approach hike lasts around 1 hour, and takes us through the Doriaz cirque on a balcony path. We start in the cave, follow the overhanging arch, cross the grey slabs and climb up the Grande Faille. The monkey bridges, beam bridges, Nepalese bridges and pendulum bridges are a real thrill!
The via de la grotte à Carret is reserved for experienced climbers in excellent physical condition. What's more, some sections are very steep.
Between the approach, the route and the return, allow around 4h30.
Yes, its neighbour the P'tchi is just the thing if you're looking for an easier via ferrata! It's a sporty via ferrata with a few overhanging steps and crossings, and it's not as long as the "Jules". Don't hesitate to call me for advice.
To round off a day full of thrills and spills, you can continue with a descent of the fun-filled Ternèze canyon. Accessible to all, with its slides and jumps, this is a great way to round off a day of fun and adrenalin!
