Get your harness ready – let’s go climbing!
New Via Ferrata in Les Gentianes. Two brand-new routes – one aerial, the other less demanding – that take you to an altitude of over 3,000 metres surrounded by a fantastic alpine panorama!

Route Edelweiss (Blue):
o Level of difficulty: quite difficult - K3
o Estimated length: 150 m
o Altitude difference: 100 m
o Altitude at starting point: 2,950 m /Altitude at finish: 3,041 m

The route 1 is accessible to children from 8 years of age, as long as they are accompanied by a professional. 

The descent is the same for both routes. Information for the Androsace route (red) can be found here.

To climb the Via Ferrata, you’ll need a helmet, harness and lanyards.
You can rent equipment and buy your lift pass online.

WARNING: for security reasons, the sets are only intended for people who have a weight between 50kg-100kg.

Hiring a guide is not essential. However, if you do not have extensive experience in this sport, they charge by the day, in the same way as on guided climbing trips. Do not hesitate to contact the Verbier mountain guides office for more information!

The two routes are equipped with an “aéroligne” lifeline safety system which prevents improper usage and restricts the risks for users.
