Via Ferrata

There is also an exciting Via Ferrata at Puget Theniers within easy driving distance, designed by the late climber Patrick Berhault. If the very thought of doing a Via Ferrata brings on an attack of heeby-jeebies, then why not consider doing one underground! The world's first Via Souterrata can be found at La Mouliere.

Le Parcours Aventure Dans Les Arbres

Forests of adventure have become very popular in France recently. They usually involve a tree top level walk round a forest, crossing rope bridges and swinging from tree to tree. The minimum and maximum age limits vary but are usually about 6 -77 yrs old.
