Via ferrata of Saint Christophe en Oisans - Section 2
The ideal route for beginners and children!
For the summer of 2024, as the RD530 is closed, access will be via hiking trails only.
For further information, contact the St Christophe and Venosc Tourist Offices.
Pedestrian access St Christophe :
At the foot of the Venosc gondola, walk down to the Bourg d'Arud bridge and join the path to Plan du Lac. At the white-water base, follow signs for Le Puy / Saint Christophe en Oisans.
This is a ferrata hike for 6-year-olds and up! Its original route was improved in 2018 to create escape routes and make it accessible to younger climbers. A continuation of the 1st part, it takes you to the top of the village.
