    Halfway between hiking and climbing, the Via Ferrata allows you to evolve in a vertiginous setting in complete safety. The Madzeiria site, at the bottom of the Val de Bagnes, offers a route through magnificent gorges sculpted by glacier water. The course is 600 metres long, with a succession of monkey bridges, footbridges and ladders above the river Dranse. The two parts of the course, the "Saxifrage" and the "Tichodrome" can be done in a row or separately. The Tyrolean traverse will give your arms a break and will be a great experience for young and old alike!

    Inexperienced people are advised to bring a mountain guide with them.
