Description

Join me for a great half day (around 3 hours) of via ferrata in Landelies, near Charleroi in Wallonia (Belgium). We will be at the Hainaut province, by the beautiful Sambre river. This site with views of the Sambre river is at the heart of a bucolic environment.

This is technical and varied route. It includes technical vertical sections as well as a narrow chimney part. Besides, there are vertiginous traverses and a long zip line. To finish off, an exciting abseiling descent! The level of the via ferrata is sustained, so you need to have experience and to be fit. But although it’s sustained I wouldn’t say that it’s extreme, so if you are in doubt please ask me!

For this rather technical itinerary, you need to be sportive and to have a strong upper body. You should have previous climbing or via ferrata experience and not be afraid of the height.

If you want, we can combine it with some rock climbing (easy – moderate). And if you also want to learn some rescue techniques we can talk about spending a full day.

I particularly like via ferrata in Landelies because:
– It’s the hardest via ferrata in Belgium
– It’s possible to combine it with some easy rock climbing
– The access and parking are easy.

If you were thinking of an easier via ferrata option, have a look at this one in Pont a Lesse, ideal for an initiation. And Grands Malades is a great option for an intermediate option.

Do you want to try the challenging routes in Landelies? Then don’t hesitate to send me a request to book this trip! It will be my pleasure to take you there.

If you are fast and if you still have energy after doing the via ferrata, we can do some abseiling and/or an initiation to rock climbing.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
