L'Escale á Peille iron path - Alpes-Maritimes, France - video
One of the challenging via ferratas in the Maritime Alps is the L'Escale a Peille. One of its elements is a steel cobweb, where you can feel like you're hanging in the air.
I have a Petzl Tandem double pulley of orange color, which can be used on cables with a maximum diameter of 13 mm. At the end of the L'Escale a Peille via ferrata, there is an optional zip line, where this pulley is suitable.
Although the sliding was a bit too fast here, and one of my companions hit herself slightly when she arrived at the end point.

Via ferrata de la Grande Fistoire - France 124.12 km away
Because I lost the footage I made the first time (don't buy SD cards from Alibaba!), at the end of June I visited this great and exciting via ferrata again. It has a 59-meter long suspension bridge (one of the longest in the Alps), at 200 m height, and a 32-meter long, uncomfortably swinging Nepalese bridge.

Les Gorges de la Méouge - France 139.19 km away
Following today's climb, I experienced the soothing pleasure of immersing myself in the turquoise waters of the Méouge creek, in the pond beneath a waterfall. If you find yourself in Sisteron or Grenoble, do not miss the opportunity to explore the magnificent Méouge valley near Ribiers. And do not leave your swimwear behind.

Banita Gorges and Banita rock bridge 1269.88 km away
They say about this place that only very few people know about it, but that's not true. In fact, most nature lovers have heard of it, seen pictures taken here, even if not everyone has been able to come here. Since it has been talked about everywhere, and it has been advertised, I have also been planning to come here for years.

Schulter Anstieg klettersteig Hoher Dachstein, Austria 631.73 km away
Two iron paths lead to the top of the Hoher Dachstein. The Randkluft is shorter, but can only be reached through a glacier with cracks. It is dangerous to reach the starting point, that's probably why it was closed now.

Hili cove iron path Turda Gorges 1309.24 km away
While the first time I climbed this via ferrata in the morning, now I climbed it in the light of the setting sun. The red-dressed rocks created a special atmosphere, and I could admire the sunset from the top of the climbing route. Although I prefer the sunrise more, because it lasts longer. :-)
