Via Ferrata · Gorges du Tarn
How to choose
Six via ferrata routes across the Gorges du Tarn, priced from 39 € to 50 €, with durations ranging from a half day to a full day. Three physical levels cover the full spectrum: "Everybody welcome" routes at Liaucous and La Canourgue suit first-timers with no prior climbing experience. "Occasionally sporty" options at Boffi (3.5h) and Liaucous via B&ABA Sport Nature step up the challenge with more sustained vertical sections. The "Sporty" tier, including the full-day Rochefort route near Florac, demands real endurance and comfort with exposure. Budget matters less than fitness here: the 39 € and 40 € routes are beginner-friendly half-days, while the 50 € full-day option is the most physically demanding on the list. Pick your level first, your budget second.
