Le Rocher de Sion
The Rocher de Sion via ferrata takes place in the magnificent setting of Thaurac, at the foot of the village of Saint-Bauzille-de-Putois.
The Rocher de Sion: wild and sensational!
The Rocher de Sion via ferrata is shorter than the Thaurac via ferrata located right across from it, but its character is wilder and more sensational.
It is a mix between via ferrata and hiking-abseiling.
Allow 1h for the via ferrata, 45min for the abseil, and 35min for the chimney passage. The activity therefore takes 3h from leaving the car until the return.

Description
A 25-minute walk is required to reach the start of the bars and climbing rungs that characterize the via ferrata. The ascent is very pleasant with breathtaking views of the Hérault river, right beneath your feet.
Once at the top, you’ll be treated to an aerial tour of the North face, before embarking on the highlight of the show: the magnificent 50m abseiling descent! On the way down, you’ll be able to observe the various climbing routes on this magical face of Sion.
Once at the bottom, you can climb up a natural chimney to reach a natural ledge, which we’ll use to head for the activity’s exit.
The return journey is a leisurely one, with the option of a refreshing swim in the Hérault river.
