Climb The Via Ferrata

The starting point of the Via Ferrata in Avoriaz is located at the foot of the Antares building. (See location).
After a short approach walk of a few minutes, the route begins with a small easy ascent, followed by a traverse with your feet on a narrow ledge. Next, the descent of « L’Emotion » can already provoke some sensations… A short traverse precedes an oblique ascent followed by a small vertical wall. Then, you traverse at the base of the steepest part of the route: « Le Passage du Génépi. » A short earthy climb and a comfortable traverse lead to another earthy climb that gives access to the « Grotte des Ardoisiers. » After that, the « Passage du Berger » is a very comfortable ledge that leads to a beautiful rock overhang: « Le Balcon du Lac. » You then traverse an oblique ascent in a fairly steep rocky area: « La Traversée du Bénitier. » A series of ledges then provides access to a very beautiful horizontal traverse followed by a characteristic corner: « Le Passage du Rasoir. » You climb just behind a beautiful small dihedral and reach the summit of the Saix du Tour ridge via a steep grassy slope, first in traverse, then directly. The descent takes about thirty minutes along the ridge and then along a track.
