Via ferrata Casimiro
Resorts: Rhêmes-Notre-Dame
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.
