Geocache Description:

Via Ferrata de La Brigue

A zip line 120 meters long and seven monkey bridges. The cable traverse is vertiginous! Make really sure you know how to use it before launching yourself into space.

The ferrata is rated D or KS4. It is south-facing, so take something to drink! I needed 5 minutes to the wall entrance, about 1,5 hours for the ferrata incl. hiding the cache and 15 minutes back to the car.

The entrance of the path to the ferrata is a small bridge with a door opposite the museum. There are entrance times, but I was there on sunday afternoon when it should be closed.

Coordinates are not the best. The cache is located after the 8th (last) bridge in easy terrain in a small cavern at the foot of the wall. You have to leave the cable but its not dangerous at all in that area. Its the only place for a rest.
