About : Via ferrata of Saint Christophe en Oisans – Section 2
Here's a ferrata hike for 6-year-olds and up! Its original route was improved in 2018 to create escape routes and make it accessible to younger climbers. A continuation of the 1st part, it takes you to the top of the village.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION :
2nd section: itinerary accessible to children aged 6 and over, with no difficulties.
Duration: 1h30
Difficulty: PD
Start point: 1385 m
Difference in altitude: 160 m
Exposure: south-west
Equipment hire available at the whitewater base at Plan du lac.
The return journey from the Collet statue takes around 15 minutes: take the path down to the village, and a few minutes from the finish, follow the newly laid-out route. Some steep sections will require adults to be vigilant with younger children.
For more experienced climbers, there's a via ferrata starting from Plan du Lac and finishing at Le Banchet or Le Collet. This section is much more aerial and challenging.
