Typical Vías Ferratas material and clothing:
We arrive in Chamonix, where we will spend the night.
This day will be quiet to recover from the long trip to Chamonix, and will serve as a way to get to know the French via ferratas, always well equipped but with physical passages.
Fun and athletic, the Curalla via ferrata is located at 1,420m of altitude in the Fiz massif near Chamonix and is oriented towards the famous Mont Blanc, which with its 4,808m stands as the roof of the Alps.
The Curalla via ferrata on the Assy plateau offers impressive views and several different passages (Nepalese bridge, beam, footbridge). It has some athletic sections and emptiness is always present (2h-4h of activity).
In the afternoon we can walk through Chamonix and prepare for the next day.
Between hiking and rock climbing, the Evettes via ferrata offers a magnificent activity and takes place in the Aiguilles Rouges massif, right in front of Mont Blanc. Evettes via ferrata is located in the Brévent-Flégère ski resort, near the Flégère cable car, and the starting point is the same town of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc.
– Part 1: Evettes Via Ferrata (1h30)
The first part follows a cable through several sections and crosses a hand bridge until reaching the second bridge, which is much longer. After this point, there is a possible escape to the Flegère cable car (20 minutes). Otherwise, the activity continues with the Via Ferrata Corda.
– Part 2: Via Corda (2h30 to 3h)
There is a 10-15 meter rappel after about a third of the ferrata and another 35 meter rappel at the end. The reverse or ATC will then be essential for this part of the activity.
From the Montenvers Train we will descend to the famous Mer de Glace to cross it with crampons (possibility of renting crampons in Chamonix) and we will climb a via ferrata to the Envers des Aiguilles Refuge, in the heart of the Mont Blanc Massif.
The Envers area is a true climbing mecca in Chamonix. We will have breakfast at the Envers des Aiguilles refuge and do a small introductory climbing workshop (possibility of renting climbing shoes in Chamonix) on easy routes up to grade V.
We will descend again to the Mer de Glace via the via ferrata that gives access to the glacier and we will return to Chamonix with the Montenvers Train.
We will cross the border to travel to Switzerland to the town of Saillon, where we will take the Farinetta via ferrata, which has a beautiful and varied route divided into three parts, each one of greater difficulty than the previous one, being possible an escape before each section. The activity is carried out in about 4h/5h.
In the afternoon we can do some shopping in Chamonix and rest for the next day.
This day we will travel to the neighboring mountains of Aravis, which offer three equipped itineraries, very close to each other and with short
approximations. These are thevia ferratas of Yves-Pollet Villard, Tour du Jalouvre and Roche a l’Agathe.
Depending on the energy we have left, we will be able to make more than one ascent in what will be the final icing on the cake of this unforgettable week of activities in the French Alps.
We had breakfast together and said goodbye to this great mountain experience.
