Try your hand at via ferrata on the La Pichona course in the Lesquerde mountain range in the Pyrénées-Orientales!
Located in Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, less than an hour's drive from Perpignan, the via ferrata La Pichona ("the little one" in Catalan) is accessible to all. Comprising a succession of ladders and other fun workshops along the rocky walls and cliffs of a mountain, you can do it without any great difficulty, even with children! La Pichona can be described as an aerial hike, which allows you to make a not too intense physical effort, while at the same time being able to admire the scenery around the Lesquerde mountain range.
The La Pichona route is secured by a lifeline to which you will always be connected, alongside an experienced via ferrata instructor. The equipment you will be provided with also meets strict safety standards, ensuring you have a wonderful time climbing up the mountain walls. So if you are looking for a fun activity to do with your family during a stay in the Pyrénées-Orientales, don't hesitate to try the via ferrata course at La Pichona in Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet!
