The Gard region’s landscape, with its steep cliffs and deep canyons, is a fantastic playground for Via Ferrata. Although Gard borders regions renowned for this activity, you will find opportunities for memorable experiences here:
- Towards Florac (at the gateway to Gard / in Lozère): Although technically located in Lozère, the Florac Via Ferrata is emblematic of the Cévennes region and easily accessible from the north of Gard. It offers a varied route with aerial passages, bridges, and magnificent views of the Cévennes landscape. It is an excellent starting point for beginners or those looking to improve their skills in a mid-mountain setting.
- Other potential sites in the Gard: The geological richness of the Gard, particularly around the Gorges du Gardon and the Pre-Cevennes areas, offers potential for the development of new routes. Contact local tourist offices or specialist providers to find out about existing sites or future projects.
