Challenges to complete, summits to climb

How would you like to climb the rock face of Mont Pontbriand in complete safety, thanks to our Via Ferrata, suitable for all levels of adventurers? Whether you're an intermediate climber or a fearless beginner, our mountain route offers an exhilarating experience halfway between hiking and climbing. It's a safer alternative to traditional climbing, as you remain attached to a cable throughout. With shaky legs, a surge of excitement and a touch of self-doubt about your ability to complete the circuit, this experience promises a good dose of adrenalin!
