Via Ferrata by Pierre Ronde
Two in one! That’s what you get with the Alpe d’Huez via ferrata. Two routes are on offer, the ‘Découverte’ and the ‘Sportive’, and they’re both south-facing! Both on a 200m rock face.
The “Decouverte”, or discovery route (2h climb), goes off the right and continues onto plateaus and protruding rocks. With the “Sportive” (2h30), you start climbing straight away, on a lovely, vertical face, followed by quite a long airy slab and some easy protruding rocks. The walk back to the car park takes 5 minutes.
Access from pierre ronde via the col de sarenne or from Huez Village (1h walk there and back)
