Via Ferrata de la Cascade de Berard (Le Buet) in Chamonix

Starting from the hamlet of Buet, the new via ferrata of the Bérard waterfall winds on both sides of the gorge of the Bérard torrent in a fresh and invigorating atmosphere.

The entrance to the via ferrata route is a 15-minute walk from the Buet car park

The Bérard waterfall site is located approximately 600m west of the hamlet of Buet in Vallorcine at an average altitude of 1400m.

The route consists of a series of Tibetan bridges, a wooden footbridge, a beam, rope bridges, interspersed with climbs on bars, crossings on handrails and pedals until you exit on the right bank of the waterfall.
