The via ferrata in France started in 1988: this book describes about a hundred of the routes. What you get here is a real gem! The pages are full-color and glossy-it's a delight to wander through. But for somebody in that position, this book is excellent. The layout is clear and concise, the photographs are superb (and in many cases, chilling!), and there is always a good deal of advice given relating to the routes and techniques to be used.

This is an excellent book for finding out information about the VF's. Full pictures descriptions and maps make it fairly simple for a foreigner to find there way around. Unfortunately it is a bit outdated, and many of the routes have changed since the production of the guide. However most of the provinces produce a free local guide that can be picked up at the the tourist office or at a gear shop. As needn't be said, always check in with the locals to see the conditions and any regulations, they can be somewhat nitpickey. Have fun and of course be safe.

Very rich information. Lots of nice pictures of the vias, basics of required gear, how to get to the place, what do you need to take with you, level of dificulty, length, expected duration, links to maps and telephone of each turist information point. In short, all the detailed information a good guide must have. Recommend for sure!

Disappointing. Not at all a "complete" guide.

When we hear the term "via ferrata" we think of those routes in the Dolomites--permanent aids in the form of rungs, ladders, suspension bridges, and the like, that allow "tourists" easier access to places that are ordinarily inaccessible to anyone but a veteran climber. There are a number of fine books on the via ferrata in the Dolomites. The via ferrata in France started in 1988: this book describes about a hundred of the routes.

What you get here is a real gem! The pages are full-color and glossy--it's a delight to wander through. There are loads of maps, good narrative descriptions, and large numbers of photographs (including some real hair-raisers). The accompanying keys include vertical and horizontal distances, time for the route, difficulty (from suitable for children to extremely difficult), maximum altitude, exposure, views, escape routes, and approach time from the parking areas. Most of the route times are 1-3 hours, and most of the approach times are from 5 to 20 minutes. In France, there seems to be an emphasis on easy access to these routes.

The book stresses safety: helmet, harness, and lanyard. Some of the routes have Himalayan bridges (3 steel strands--one for the feet and two for the hands), others have monkey bridges (2 strands--one for the feet, the other for the hands), and still others have the more comforting narrow wooden walkway below the cables for the hands. There are routes (with photographs) of ladder climbs tilted beyond the vertical--you need good protection, strong hands and feet (losing your grip would not be fun!), and good nerves. This is a truly great guide, and a wonderful book to lose yourself in!
