Via Ferrata des gorges de Mauvoisin
Madzeiria, deep in the Val de Bagnes, offers a route through magnificent gorges sculpted by glacial water. Halfway between hiking and climbing, the Via Ferrata allows you to move through a dizzying setting in complete safety. The route has a total length of 600 meters, where rope bridges, footbridges, and ladders follow one another above the Dranse River. The two parts of the route, the "Saxifrage" or the "Tichodrome" can be done consecutively or separately. To give your arms a rest, the zip line will offer even more thrills for young and old alike!
