The Via Ferrata is a hike on a rock cliff equipped with metal anchors and steel cable to facilitate and secure the activity. A Via Ferrata is a mix of hiking and rock climbing. Different Via Ferrata routes offer a variety of difficulty levels and are supervised by certified guides.
You will start the activity by taking a 450 meter hike from the chalet to the foot of the cliff of The Cap Beauséjour and the start of the Via Ferrata. From there you get into the ascent of the rock wall of over 60 meters high, the equivalent of a 20 floor building. Along your path on the continuous life line, on top of steps and handles you will also cross different types of bridges all allowing you to reach the top of the cliff. On the trickier parts of the cliff, more elaborate structures have been installed such as:
- Wood beams installed where it is more difficult to walk on the cliff
- Monkey bridges made of two steel cables one above the other, one to stand on and another to grab with your hands.
- Nepalese bridges made out of three steel cables, one to step on and two others to use as railings.
- Catwalks made of wooden beams and steel cables
- A chain swing, a chain used to swing between two sections
- A ladder suspended perpendicular to the cliff facing the open air.
Thrills guaranteed !
At the top, (or on your way up if you are game), you can admire views of the entire region of Ste Agathe-des-Monts. From the top, you will go down the mountain on a hike of about 750 meters to reach the Tyroparc base camp.
The Via Ferrata offers a different perspective on the Laurentians mountains and is another way to spend some exciting outdoor time.
