Nestled deep in the Val de Bagnes, the via ferrata des gorges de Mauvoisin is an unforgettable vertical adventure between rock and river. The course, set in the impressive Madzeiria site, winds through deep gorges carved out by the Dranse, just downstream of the famous Mauvoisin dam. Halfway between hiking and climbing, this safely accessible activity offers 600 meters of thrills: monkey bridges, aerial walkways and cliffside ladders plunge you into a wild setting sculpted by glacial waters.
The via ferrata is divided into two sections: Saxifrage, ideal for beginners and sporty families, and Tichodrome, a more technical section for lovers of vertical challenges. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or simply curious to discover another face of the Val de Bagnes, this immersive experience suspended above the waves will leave no one indifferent.
