Departing from the city center, the Via Ferrata of Digne les Bains offers several routes and a breathtaking view of the city.
Description
Conquer a cliff face that's millions of years old! The Rocher de Neuf O'Clock Via Ferrata promises unforgettable thrills and memories.
Its fun and varied route faces south-east and offers several itineraries. It is classified from fairly difficult to difficult (750 m, duration from 50 min to 4 h) and is reached after an approach walk (45 min) from the town centre of Digne-les-Bains. You will enjoy a magnificent view of the town and the Bléone valley. You will see some of the emblematic landscapes of the Haute-Provence Geopark, such as the Pic de Couard and the Barre des Dourbes, a long limestone bar of 19 km.
The via ferrata is perfectly integrated into its environment and information panels allow you to discover the animals of the rocky environments and their habitat (birds, bats).
Remember that it is essential to have specific equipment (rental at the Digne-les-Bains Tourist Office, free access if you have your own equipment). Supervision by a professional is recommended.
