Dare to climb the Via Ferrata des Saix de Miolène?

This aerial via ferrata overlooks the Abondance valley. It offers 3 sections which may or may not be linked together on a south-facing wall. Guided outings, rental equipment available in Abondance.

Ask for the guidebook!

The via ferrata is a south-facing wall. The route offers an aerial face: rocky passages formed by a succession of ledges, dihedrals and overhangs. Three sections: cabri, chamois and bouquetin. Numerous athletic, more or less sustained passages in the 2nd and 3rd sections should be tackled by accomplished or supervised ferratists.

Will you climb the Cornettes de Bise?

Venture to one of the finest climbing sites in the Chablais! There are dozens of routes to climb on this symbolic mountain of the Abondance valley.

The Cornettes de Bise massif (2432 m) offers a wide variety of routes, some sixty in all. There are three sites: Cornettes, Pavis and Velan, all of which have easy access via the Bise road.

Why not climb to the top of Mont Chauffé?

With routes for all levels, Mont Chauffé is within reach of amateurs and pros alike! But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy magnificent views over the Abondance valley and the Chablais massif.

Mont Chauffé forms a long spine that stretches in a straight line for almost 3 kilometers. Over several sectors and on limestone rock, there are 168 routes ranging from 4 b to 8 a and from 20 to 450 meters. The south face is the most accessible.

Equipment you can trust

Keep an eye on the weather

Before starting your ascent, make sure you are aware of local weather conditions. Wind and weather can change very quickly in the mountains.

Think before you act

Take the time to look at the level of the routes, and don’t get involved in overly complicated passages. Adapt your practice to your level, and if necessary, don’t hesitate to call on the services of a guide.
