In a secret valley above the village of Bramans in Val Cenis, a brand new 60m-long Himalayan footbridge has been launched over the Ambin gorges. A vertiginous experience worth trying out!

Description

The footbridge, suspended almost 100 m above the torrent at its highest point, provides access to 2 belvederes with 2 completely different views of the valley.
To return to the starting point, there are 2 options: take the footbridge in the opposite direction, or try out the new via ferrata, classified as fairly difficult (it's still accessible for 10/12 year olds, minimum height 1.20 m), which takes around 1h30 to complete.
A vertiginous experience to try out, with rungs set into the wall, a Nepalese bridge and a monkey bridge that even takes you up into the clouds with 2 zip lines (escape routes are available for those who don't have pulleys for the zip lines, or who don't want to take them)!

You can then climb to the top via the road and then a footpath to one of Savoie's oldest and most beautiful churches, Saint Pierre d'Extravache.

For the via ferrata, supervision by a mountain guide is recommended.
