Bastille Via ferrata - part 1 and 2 Centre Grenoble, Chartreuse

Good news, The reopening of the Bastille via ferrata started from May 2019 which was partially closed for 1 year, thank you to the city of Grenoble!

The Prise de la Bastille via ferrata is probably the most urban-orientated via ferrata but it is still original. One of its main advantages is accessibility : in just 5 minutes on foot from Grenoble train station or from the city center, you can reach the start of this via ferrata.

It compose of 2 parts :

• The first part is the easiest with various actions : climb the vertical, then a long rock cirque of beams, monkey bridge and a large Nepalese bridge!
• The second part, is wilder but yet interesting! At the common departure point, there are several choices: either a physical version for those who want to force a little, or an easy version. These two versions come together for the same final goal : climbing of the walls of the fort de la Bastille.

From the top of the via ferrata, in 5 minutes walk, you can reach the top of the Fort de la bastille with its view of Grenoble and can enjoy a drink on the Panormaic Terrace. The descent can be done either on foot or by the Bastille cable car.

To uphold the theme of doing activity without a car in Grenoble, we recommend that you can link it to the Furon canyon lower part, which is accessible by public transport!
