Via ferrata Located in Saint Pierre d'Entremont in Savoie, in the middle of the Chartreuse regional natural park, between Grenoble Lyon and Chambéry, the Via ferrata Roche Veyrand is a full day Via ferrata in Saint Pierre d'Entremont with 2 parts, an easy first part and a harder and impressive second part.
The first part is the easiest: dizzying but without big difficulties, with some passages on beam and beautiful climbs on a nice limestone. The colored rock is of high quality, a very compact white / blue limestone crisscrossed by gullies and "Lapiaz" offering numerous holds for a fun climb.
The second part of the via ferrata of Roche Veyrand is the the most dizzying : We will climb the large footbridge of "Pas de la Frousse", and the Nepalese bridge "Pont des Balmes", then large vertical parts in the middle of a compact cliff.
The route is daring and it looks like of the great climbing routes. Halfway up, there are even two slight overhangs to cross! Dizzying atmosphere guaranteed in the heart of the Chartreuse, between Chambéry and Lyon.
