While the crown jewel is obviously the ‘iron path’ that leads up the massif, there are various others as well. Via ferratas to the summits of Gran Serraz (3.553 meters) and Mont Emilius (3.559 meters) are also quite popular on the massif.
Meanwhile, the nearby Béthaz – Bovard and Ferrata di Casimiro are both excellent options for newcomers to the sport who want to test out their skills before challenging themselves on the massif.
