Via ferrata du Regardoir - lac de Vouglans
Via Ferrata level AD (fairly difficult) to D (difficult) (depending on the route taken). You'll find a footbridge, two ladders and a monkey bridge. The 350m-long via ferrata will delight the most experienced climbers with its challenging variants, as well as nature lovers with a 90m footbridge overlooking Lac de Vouglans.
The via ferrata is open from late June/early July to mid-November each year (please ask for exact opening times). It cannot open in the spring because the cliff is subject to a biotope protection order protecting the Peregrine Falcon, which runs from 15 February to 15 June, a period during which all climbing is strictly forbidden. Access to the via is forbidden at night all year round, as well as during heavy rain and thunderstorms.
You can hire equipment from our partner Intrépides, via their website ( https://www.intrepides-jura.com/ ) or use your own equipment. Inexperienced climbers are advised to book with a guide.
