Character of the route
Arranged wholly in the style of its French (or western Swiss) predecessors, this via ferrata has optimum safety. The views across and down into the Val de Travers from above, on the broad rock barrier, are very appealing. The route is 550 metres long, largely following natural ledges, where the safety rope generally also serves as a hand-hold rope. The site is closed from January 1 to July  31 and cannot be climbed then (it is the nesting period for the wallcreeper).

Difficulty
K3. This is not a ferrata to strike terror into the heart, and can even be tackled with older children (with additional rope securing). More important than genuine climbing skills are the ability to move easily, and having no fear of heights.

Starting-point
There is a car park at the Restaurant Haut de la Côte (1,035 m); please do not park by the entrance to the ferrata! The restaurant is reached from the Val de Travers or from Les Ponts-de-Martel. On foot, coming from the station in Noiraigue (733 m), it is a good half-hour to the start of the via ferrata; the route is well marked (but needs care when crossing the main road).
