Activity description

Come get some altitude in Jura's Via Ferratas and admire new landscapes. This fun activity can be done in a group or family, as one moves along a cliff with built-in equipments, monkey bridges, ladders, zip lines... all in a wild and natural setting.

Before each climb, you learn or review the basics with certified instructors, such as the use of equipment (via tethers), and security. During the Via, your guide will teach you to pass various obstacles and will provide a maximum of technical advice to get you to become autonomous gradually.

You will go with Roc'Emotions on one of the following routes:

"La Roche du Mont" (Ornans 25)
2 possible routes: C (difficult) and D / E (very difficult to extremely difficult)

"Via Tichodrome" (Noiraigue - Switzerland)
C (Difficult)

"Les Echelles de la Mort" (Charquemont 25)
C (Difficult) to D (difficult)

"Les Baumes du Verneau" (Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne 25)
4 possible routes: A (easy), B (moderatly difficult), D (difficult), E (Extremely Difficult)


Difficulties explained
A - easy Straightforward path, but exposed. Plenty of climbing aids, possible short ladders. Challenging walking rather than climbing. Sure-footedness and a good head for heights are the main requirements.
B - moderately difficult Some steep terrain, smaller footholds, but climbing aids provided. Longer ladders possible. Essentially protected but exposed scrambling. Some use of arms.
C - difficult Steep to very steep rock, adequate climbing aids, long ladders possible (or even briefly overhanging). Good fitness and some arm strength required.
D - very difficult Very steep to vertical, maybe short/well aided overhanging sections, mainly very exposed. Some climbing aids but often wire rope only. Strong arms and hands required.
E - extremely difficult Vertical to overhanging; consistently exposed; very small footholds or friction climbing, usually no climbing aids other than the wire. Sustained arm strength required. Easier sections may be unprotected.

- Then you're dack to the car park

Via La Roche du Mont - beginners to advanced
Read more

This via offers an incredible panorama on the Gorges throughout the ascent.

It offers the advantage of dividing into two routes, one for beginners and one for experienced climbers, so you can share this moment in the mountain no matter your levels.

Course of events

- Approach walk of 15 to 20 minutes by a small path and handcrafted stairs
- Start with a ladder of about 10 bars and then a small climb of about 1 or 2 m.
- Horizontal progression. The first loophole is before the monkey bridge. The passage then goes on to reach a board and a second much longer rope bridge, just before the arrival.
- The arrival is the most difficult passage with a slightly overhanging small vertical climb.

Optional : a strong overhanging horizontal crossing, ranked D (very difficult) or E (extremely difficult).
It's a very physical part, a very long overhang without loopholes. The use of a short tether is mandatory (reserved for big guys ..!)

Activity requirements

Children must be aged at least 9 years old to participate and be over 1m20 height. Parental consent is required if they are not accompanied.

Via Les Beaumes du Verneau - beginners to advanced
Read more

Several possible routes on this Via Ferrata for all levels.

Les Baumes du Verneau dominate the village of Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne. You get a dramatic view over the green, wood, walls, in a calm and quiet environment. In the distance, you can admire the Saracen porch where river Lizon takes its source.

Course of events

1st part of "conditionning": about 10 m horizontally and 2 rope bridges to return to the ground via a tree.

Part 2: attack on a short wall, crossing to the left along the cavity.
Then a small vertical projection on top of which you'll find a loophole.
Ascending traverse to the right and then slightly long horizontal traverse down to the end.
This second part ends with a spur without difficulty.

You then continue on a trail in the woods with a small, easy projection, the "ressaut du chamois".

A horizontal ledge (narrow terrace on the wall of a mountain) takes you to the 3rd part.

Part 3: the big climb! A continuous line of bars on 30-40 meters with some very slightly overhanging passages.

At the summit you begin the downhill trail to the village. Well marked and equipped.
Down, down to a small projection, and you arrive at the foot of the "ressaut du Chateau".

Activity requirements

Children must be aged at least 9 years old to participate and be over 1m20 height. Parental consent is required if they are not accompanied.

Participants must not suffer from vertigo (not to be confused with the fear of heights, which your instructors will teach you to overcome).
