A via ferrata ("iron road" in Italian) is a laid out and secured climbing route over a rock face. The climbing aids are permanently in place. A via ferrata is part rock-climbing, part hiking.

Routes come in two categories:

• ladders, steps (iron rungs or steps cut into the rock), wooden bridges, walkways or rope bridges, to facilitate progress
• a steel cable, called a "lifeline", that allows users to attach themselves continuously to the rock face and thus stay safe.

Since 2011, Lozère department has put in place 6 via ferrata. La Cazelle offers you the possibility of discovering this activity, at once playful and athletic, amidst the fabulous landscapes of the Lozère.
