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.

Siega Klettersteig Silberkarklamm, Ramsau am Dachstein 635.59 km away
The Siega Klettersteig, categorized as a C/D level of difficulty, is perhaps the least interesting of the three via ferratas in the Silberkarklamm gorge. This doesn't mean that it's not good, just that the other two are even better. :-)

Preacher's Rock Bodoc Mountains 1473.16 km away
