Via Ferrata - La Clusaz
The via ferrata above La Clusaz is called Yves Pollet-Villard. This is the via ferrata most people do as their first experience of it here in the Aravis, as it is one of the most straightforward. A stunning diagonal traverse overlooking the Col Des Aravis, it offers a spectacular introduction to high mountain exploration.
