DESCRIPTIONS & INFORMATION
The "via ferrata de la Cascad" to l'Alpes du Grand Serre is an introductory via ferrata located in Isère. A route that children and families will love!It's made up of 5 sections, all of which are interspersed with a path, giving us the choice of adapting the length of the route to suit our audience. It's a fun via ferrata with lots of footbridges, beams and monkey bridges crossing and re-crossing this beautiful waterfall in all directions. You move along with the water and then climb up to admire the magnificent scenery from the many viewpoints along the way. It takes just 30 minutes to walk back down the path. /p> The via ferrata de la Cascade à l'Alpes du Grand Serre is, like the via ferrata at Saint Vincent de Mercuze, a fun, bucolic route that's perfect for beginners and youngsters alike!
