Itinerary description

Mezcla entre vía ferrata y escalada. La Grande Falaise es un itinerario muy completo que cruza a media altura una gran pared, mirador privilegiado de los Écrins.
Es la primera ferrata montada en Francia.
Lo mejor de la vía es la variedad de pasos y la lógica con la que se ha creado el itinerario, respetando las vías de escalada que cruza la ferrata.

    Difficulty D- until escape in the middle. D for the 2nd part. I found it more difficult than other D or D+ via ferratas (I try not to touch the cable- with help of the cable it is easy). In particular those 2 - 4 horizontal rock faces with little room for feet and hands.

    Parking 1330m
    To the v.f. 30 min
    The v.f. 2 hours (or 3 hours if you need time to rest).
    From top to parking 1 hour.
