via ferrata
INTRODUCTION
The route of the Via Ferrata Curalla runs in a south-facing limestone bar, dominated by the Aiguille du Varan.
The entire route is a beautiful aerial balcony overlooking the Arve valley with a spectacular backdrop: the Mont Blanc. It consists of various passages with a succession of short climbs more or less vertical and crossed embellished cable bridges and beams.
