Description

Looking for a family activity near Veynes, Aspres sur Buëch or Gap?

Discover the via ferrata of the Gorges d’Agnielles, the ideal site for a family initiation. At the crossroads of Alpine and Mediterranean influences, the landscape is heavily wooded and contrasts with the interior of Dévoluy. You’ll find an old village that has been partly restored, ONF cottages, springs and a number of botanical rarities.

The Gorges d’Agnielles at La Faurie is the main tourist attraction in the Buëch-Devoluy region. It offers a host of outdoor activities, including hiking, mountain biking, caving, climbing and via-ferrata. The cliff discovery trail was inaugurated in 2023, giving visitors the chance to explore the vertical world on foot.

The lower part of the gorges is a climbing area, with two via ferrata.
