Description
Reach for the heights with the Via Ferrata de la Grande Fistoire! Internationally renowned for its aerial route, it will take you to conquer a 250-meter wall, with a breathtaking view...
In the heart of the Haute-Provence Geopark, characterized in particular by large limestone bars (-150 million years), the Grande Fistoire will offer you unique sensations. While climbing, you will appreciate the beauty of the landscapes: varied reliefs, view of the Prealps, imprint of human activities (villages, arboriculture, etc.). You will be able to glimpse the biodiversity of the rocky environments and, if you keep your eyes open, perhaps some emblematic species of the French Alps!
The adventure is carried out in complete safety thanks to suitable equipment and accompanied by a qualified guide. The route is classified from difficult to very difficult; it can be covered in 2 to 4 hours (escape routes possible): 60 m footbridge, the bombu (overhang), the recumbent slab, the 3 zip lines and, for the more daring, the Nepalese bridge and its great wall!
Open every day, paid access and reservation required.

Delicate passages
This route is classified from difficult to very difficult. Along the way, you can take escape routes to adapt the level of the route to your own. You will cross a 59-meter-long footbridge over a 90-meter drop. The Nepalese Bridge (a bridge with 3 cables: one for the feet and one for each hand) requires a lot of balance because the cables are slack. The Great Wall, a 50-meter vertical wall that requires strength.
