🧗🔴 Via ferrata: ‘Jules Carret’ 🥵 + 🚿 in refreshing waterfall? 🧊
- 🔵 medium for climbers
- 🔴 hard for noobs 🙃 + a lot of vertigo
Is it too early for a via ferrata? Certainly not! 🧗♂️ Especially with the promise of a sunny weekend in Grenoble, where temperatures will hover around a pleasant 25°C. ☀️ 🚗 Our Journey Begins: We’ll hop into our car and head toward the charming village of Lovettaz, near Chambéry. 🏘️ From there, our adventure unfolds: 🌲 Forest Hike: Amidst towering trees, we’ll venture into the lush forest. Our destination? The starting point of our via ferrata. 🧗♂️ ED (Extremely Difficult) Via Ferrata: Not for the faint-hearted! We’ll ascend rugged cliffs, clinging to iron rungs and cables. Not for Noobs! 🏔️ Summit Views: At the pinnacle, we’ll pause for a detour. Behold the “Croix du Nivolat,” where the landscape unfolds beneath us. 🌅 🎿 Steep Descent: The narrow path known as “Pas de l’Echelle” awaits. Our legs will feel the burn as we make our way back to Lovettaz and our parking spot. 🏞️ 💦 Chasing Waterfalls: If time permits, we’ll seek out the enchanting “Cascade de la Doria.” Prepare for a refreshing—and perhaps slightly chilly—🥶 shower! 🚿
