Passing south of France, are you looking for a sporting activity? This is Liaucous, a great spot where to make via ferrata in the Tarn Gorges.
The Gorges du Tarn form a very special geological curiosity in the heart of the European continent. They dig through the Tarn, a river from the south of France, between the Méjean causse and the Sauveterre causse. These gorges are shared by the French departments of the Lozère and that of Aveyron. The Tarn takes its source on Mount Lozère and forms a majestic canyon linking this mountainous granite to the plateaus of the great Causses. It measures more than fifty kilometers and the cliffs are among the most vertiginous in Europe.
If you are told, you can practice via ferrata in the Gorges du Tarn, specifically at the Liaucous spot, at the entrance of the canyon. Whether you’re a warrior or a beginner ferratist, no worry: you’ll feel at home once you’ve hung to the wall!
