Via Corda in Besorgues Valley - Eagle Trail

The Eagle Via Corda is a vertical and aerial hike that will take you to the highest summits. With this activity similar to the via ferrata, you will climb on the foothills of the Ardèche mountain with the help of different activities that allow you to progress along the cliff.

At more than 1,200 m above sea level, you will also benefit from an amazing view of the Besorgues valley below. This sporting and fun activity, which can be enjoyed from the age of 10, is suitable for families as well as friends and requires no previous experience. Note that this is an exclusive trail, so you and your group will be the only ones to enjoy it!
