Via ferrata by Annecy

Would you like to discover a via ferrata in an exceptional mountain setting? Go up in elevation and experience this 100% mountain activity. We offer two beginner via ferrata routes of varied difficulty to get you started in the activity and a route in the Aravis mountain range which provides an even greater challenge. Our guides from the Terréo team will show you the ropes and help you safely advance at your pace.

The via ferrata is one of the flagship activities of the Annecy region.

The activity consists of following a route laid out on a cliff. This route is secured by the presence of cables and ladders, allowing us to evolve in complete safety.

These routes are intended to be fun with varied passages and facilities such as monkey bridges, footbridges, ladders facing the void or another suspended beam.

The proposed routes take place in remarkable sites with a “mountain” atmosphere. The via ferrata of La Sambuy is nestled in the heart of an eponymous mineral valley, preserved and which gives access to a splendid view of Lake Annecy. The via ferrata des Aravis dominates the pass of the same name in a magnificent setting that is both mountain and pastoral.

Beyond the sporting aspect than the activity where it is necessary to evolve with the strength of the arms and legs on more or less vertical courses, the contemplative aspect is also marked. Indeed, you will not remain insensitive to the beauty of the place and the atmosphere that reigns there. The shapes and contact of the rock, the flora and the alpine fauna, without forgetting the magnificent points of view which will be offered to you.

The Terréo via ferrata guides will adapt to your pace of progress and will not fail to share their mountain culture with you.

Concerning the safety equipment, we will provide you with controlled safety equipment, meeting standards and of good quality to ensure your safety and comfort.
