Discover an exceptional region in the most exceptional way: the Thaurac via ferrata makes you reach the clouds above the gorges de l'Hérault. The tour will literally take your breath away, thanks to its atheletic course, which nevertheless remains accessible to everyone, provided you are in good physical condition. Because you will need all your strength to try the best of the route: a 25 m high pendulum jump!
Tour programme- Preparation:
We will meet you at the parking lot of the Grotte des Demoiselles. Your certified instructor will provide you with your equipment before leaving by car for the via ferrata. In the parking lot there (unattended, it is best to leave your valuables at the guides' office if needed), a 15-minute walk, downhill and in the woods, awaits you to reach the starting point. Once the safety instructions have been explained, all you have to do is get started!
- Tour:
For 3 hours, you will walk above the Hérault Gorges along a sporting and fun route. The difficulty is progressive and the air passages can often be bypassed if you are hesitant. After an underground passage in the Waller cave, you will continue climbing (especially along chimneys), abseiling (including one on a 15m high spider rope), zip line (35 m) and of course breathtaking views of the cliffs along the river... Then back on land for a short walk under the trees to reach the Baume du Soleil. There, an impressive pendulum jump awaits you! 30 m further down, the course continues and still offers you some beautiful moments before reaching the surface and the end.
- Arrival:
Once the route is completed, a 15-minute walk will allow you to reach your vehicle.
