  • DESCRIPTIONS & INFORMATION

    The magnificent Presles cliffs lie at the heart of the Vercors regional nature park, between Grenoble and Valence. It's in these wild surroundings that the Via Corda de Choranche is located! The panorama is guaranteed!

    The vire de Choranche is a horizontal fault (also known as "the median vire") in the Presles cliffs. This geological fault is reached by climbing 2 short, easy pitches, then following the route like a roped hike, finishing with a 45m abseil into the void. Between this cliff-side route and the spectacular exit, the atmosphere is just as good!

    The via Corda de Choranche is ideal for a group outing, with the family or for works councils. It can also be combined with a canyoning trip in the Vercors, the Ecouges canyon, the Furon canyon or the Versoud canyon, to create a truly sporting day out.

    As you can see, the via corda de Choranche is located in the same place as the famous "Grotte de Choranche", which can be visited all year round!

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    1Is the reminder at the end compulsory?
    Yes, it's compulsory. But like all abseiling, we can lower you down ourselves if you don't feel like it. All you have to do is enjoy the view, and we'll take care of safety, of course!
    2Is this via corda open to beginners with no climbing experience?
    Yes, we're really just discovering the activity. The first 2 pitches of climbing present no real difficulties.
    3Via Corda + visit to the Choranche caves: is it possible to do it in a day?
    The car park for the Via Corda is the same as the one for the caves! So it's perfectly possible (and even advisable!) to make these 2 discoveries in one day.
