Explore the route

The short Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet line introduces ferrata climbing in the sunny eastern foothills. Compared with neighbouring Panoramique, it keeps the activity more compact. It is a candidate for a guided family outing when every participant meets the requirements and feels comfortable moving above the ground.

Visiting conditions

Foothills. There are no intermediate escapes. Tourism prohibits use at night and with winds above 70 km/h; confirm minimum height and the annual inspection closure dates.
