Dedicated to Casimiro Thérisod, the first mountain guide of the Val di Rhêmes, the via ferrata winds along a route with a suggestive panoramic view. It guarantees fun for everyone thanks to the various possible combinations of the passages of this exciting equipped itinerary. On both sides it will not be difficult to see marmots, chamois and ibex jumping between the rocks and sometimes even the eagle and the bearded vulture circling in the sky.

 


Description of the route

Access path (10/15 minutes on foot): Departure from the Chanavey hamlet. Take the path to Col Cussunaz. After 300 metres, take a detour to the left and after 200 meters you reach the start of the via ferrata.

Following the access path, you arrive at a first vertical wall (80 m.) with some overhanging passages. After the first path you reach an articulated and easy via ferrata. Following a Tibetan bridge, another five minutes of path and an escape route. On the route there is a second wall of another 100 meters, easy with exposure, and a sideways exit with a small section of ferrata going down. Finally a panoramic flat via ferrata and the final flat path.
