VIA FERRATA LAC DE VILLEFORT

As you wind your way along the cliffs overlooking the lake, you'll discover an aerial "calanque". Two courses are available, with a multitude of monkey bridges, a zip line and a large footbridge.

Via ferrata du Lac de Villefort - Walk on water

Two itineraries (easy and difficult) with sections in common. Beware of the difficult section, which includes two overhangs in its final stretch. This highly original via ferrata takes place above the lake, with several "calanque" crossings via aerial workshops: footbridge, Nepalese bridge and zip-line. On the approach walk, don't miss the Castanet castle rising out of the water.

Bonus: the aerial view and the permanent overhang of Lac de Villefort.
