Tackling A Via Ferrata in Haute Provence
What is a Via Ferrata you ask? It is one of those walks that you have seen so many times on photos on the internet. The photos where people call this hike the most dangerous hike in the world or the craziest trail in the world. We always wondered what these people were thinking walking along cliffs until we realized that they were simply doing a Via Ferrata. A Via Ferrata is a lot like rock climbing but you don’t have to have any technical skill or training. If you know how to attach a caribbiner to a steal cable and climb a ladder, you can do a Via Feratta.
Dave and Deb StumbleUpon the Via Ferrata in France!
We have StumbledUpon sites in both Paris and Barcelona and it was time to don our new StumbleUpon T-shirts for an adventure. If there is one cool and unique adventure to do in this part of the world it is to tackle a Via Ferrata. We are going to be writing more about our time in Digne Les Bains but for now enjoy our shots of Dave and Deb StumblingUpon the Via Ferrata, Rocks of Nine Hours. If you have never rock climbed before but have always wanted to see what it is like to hang off of the side of a cliff, a Via Ferrata is for you. It has all the thrill of rock climbing without needing the skill of mountaineering. No need for technique here. Just rent a harness and clip yourself into cables as you climb ladders and scale bridges through a high route.
