Via ferrata du Diable - Les Angelots
An introductory via ferrata specially designed for
for children aged 5-6 and over. The course (in 2 parts) takes place directly on Fort Victor-Emmanuel. Bars, footbridges... ideal for beginners!
Description
This via offers 2 varied sections (from 4 to 10 metres high). The start is a real adventure: you have to cross the drawbridge, enter the grandiose Fort Victor-Emmanuel and then descend into the "batteries basses". This is where the via ferrata begins. Slip into an old "cannon mouth", then skirt the fort wall to return to the level of the drawbridge!
Once you've rounded the corner of the wall (which isn't easy), the 1st circuit isn't too high. The second features a tricky ladder, then an easy crossing to a pretty little footbridge.
Specially adapted for children.
