The idyllic mountain village Puget-Theniers is located in the Var Valley in the French Provence, 40 km north of Nice. Through the steep mountain walls above the village leads one of the most beautiful climbing routes of the French Maritime Alps. The steepest, steepest and most often protected area, is also very easy to reach, but it also has easy passages and great depths. Typical for the South-French fixed rope routes are the many playful elements, which must also be overcome here. A 28-meter-long triple bridge, a 25-meter-long Two-Rope bridge running at dizzying heights and a nearly 90-meter-long Tyrolienne were installed, although the latter two can also be bypassed. For adrenaline junkies, the climb is a true treat, but it is only suitable for children.
