Siala Via Ferrata — Gourette
Above the Gourette resort, at 1,118 m altitude, the Siala via ferrata is one of the finest equipped routes in the Pyrenees. Monkey bridges, suspended walkways, and a full panorama of the Pic du Ger and the upper Ossau Valley.
Ossau’s great high-altitude route
The Siala via ferrata is close to the Gourette resort. You reach it via a 5-minute path, then start a 1.5 to 2-hour route on the cliff. The terrain alternates between airy sections, exposed vertical passages, traverses right on the wall, and stretches above the void.
Ossau’s great high-altitude route
The altitude offers a 360° view over the Ossau Valley: Pic du Ger just above, Pic du Midi d’Ossau to the south, and high-altitude lakes below. It’s probably the most photogenic via ferrata in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. There are plenty of photo stops—and they’re well deserved.
Today, he devotes all his work to professional guiding in the great outdoors, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques that he knows inside out. Canyoning, cliff climbing, multi-pitch climbing, via ferrata: his scope covers all the region’s vertical and water-based activities.
A sporty, accessible route
Despite its altitude and committed feel, the Siala via ferrata remains accessible to anyone in good physical condition, from around age 10. No climbing technique required: you just need to know how to clip in properly (Étienne teaches the move at the start) and want to progress on the rock. There are few truly committed sections; most of the route follows wider parts where you can catch your breath and enjoy the scenery.
