Via ferrata of the "Grand Frisson"

Barrage du Sautet
38970 Corps

A new route between wild gorges and an industrial site. It is impressive, but not technically difficult.

Great initiation to aerial passes due to high elevation, but without technical difficulties.
It is possible to do the 2nd part only (by crossing the 1st bridge). Then the via continues with several crossings, ascents and descents to reach the 2nd bridge. A final climb under the dam bridge ends the via ferrata.

Equipment rental at the nautical base "Wild Sport Adventure" (Sautet lake)

Please note that the via ferrata could be closed at the request of EDF, operator of the industrial site, for maintenance or safety actions. Check on the following website the opening / closing of the via ferrata : https://www.ccmatheysine.fr/web/culture-loisirs/via-ferrata/
