Via Ferrata de la cascade de Bérard

Departing from the hamlet of Le Buet, the new via ferrata de la cascade de Bérard winds up and down the gorge of the torrent de Bérard in a fresh and invigorating atmosphere.

The Bérard waterfall site lies around 600 m west of the hamlet of Le Buet in Vallorcine, at an average altitude of 1,400 m.

The route consists of a series of Tibetan bridges, a wooden footbridge, a beam, monkey bridges, interspersed with climbs on rungs, crossings on handrails and pedals, until you come out on the right bank of the waterfall.

After the wooden footbridge on the right bank, there's an escape route that takes you back to the access route.

After this sporting adventure, don't forget to cross the footbridge to the refreshment area for a drink or a bite to eat, and discover the cultural side of the site by visiting the Grotte à Farinet.
