Description
A charming little aerial walk that winds along a rope on a natural balcony perched 50 meters above the Chassezac River. Unique viewpoints, easy climbing, tightrope walkers, cave, zip line, and abseiling. Unusual!
The more accessible little sister of the via ferrata, the via corda is set in a 100% natural environment. The goal is to progress to the heights of fabulous gorges, always safely connected to a rope, alternating between easy climbing, suspended cables, rope bridges, a small cave, a zip line, and rappelling. It's an accessible, family-friendly acrobatic course, but requires a good fear of heights. No experience is required.
From 7 years.
We offer three different trails in southern Ardèche. They are suitable for beginners and no special experience is required:
– Via corda du Jardin d’Endieu (Berrias-et-Casteljau)
Located on the Casteljau peninsula in the heart of the Païolive forest, this is a short, aerial ride that winds along a ledge perched 50m above the Chassezac River. A unique viewpoint overlooking breathtaking limestone gorges. You'll also spot peregrine falcons and Bonelli's eagles. Finally, a sensational 40m-high abseil, using a spider's wire, landing almost directly in the water. Swimming is possible. For ages 7 and up.
– Via corda du Pont d’Arc (Vallon-Pont-d’Arc)
This is a short adventure trail 5 minutes from Vallon, upstream from the prestigious Ardèche Gorges. We explore the meandering river, along cliffs, in the scrubland, or along the water's edge. The program includes forest walks, easy climbing, aerial passages, then an arch, a zip line, and a large 40-meter-high rappel to gently land at the foot of the river. Swimming is possible. For ages 10 and up.
– Via corda KIDS du Pont d’Arc (Salavas)
Discover via corda in complete serenity on a short course designed for younger visitors. This fun Baby Via Corda is accessible to the whole family. A complete micro-adventure that combines the classics: easy climbing above the river, a short zip line, a mini rappel, and a visit to a magical cave and its underground lake. A wonderful, gentle discovery for children and toddlers.
No experience required. No mandatory entry. Open to ages 6 and up.
– Via Corda du Rocher de l’Aigle (Labastide-sur-besorgues)
Located in the Besorgues Valley, 30 minutes from Aubenas, this via ferrata takes you to the mountain summit to admire breathtaking volcanic landscapes. You'll witness a 360-degree natural spectacle (the Ardèche plateau, the Cévennes mountains, and the Gard region) while enjoying a unique blend of climbing and via ferrata. Suitable for beginners. Good physical condition required.
