The Dent de Burgin via ferrata, the highest in France, is nevertheless very accessible.
Located at the summit between Méribel and Courchevel, it takes place in a high mountain setting offering panoramic views of the Alps and Mont Blanc. The route follows the ridge between the Saulire and the Dent du Burgin, culminating at 2,737 metres.
After a gondola ascent and a short 15-minute approach on foot, the route begins easily up to «Curé», a 60-metre-high tooth offering a spectacular descent. The rest of the route alternates between passages on the ridge and on the face, all the way to the top of the via ferrata, where the 360-degree view is exceptional.
It takes around 1 hour 30 minutes to cable back to the starting point of the via ferrata, followed by a 15-minute ascent to the Pas du Lac cable car.
After the cable car ride up, it's a short 10-minute walk to the start. The route starts gently and then crosses «le Curé»: a 60-metre-high tooth. Another 1? hours is needed to reach the summit for a picnic.
The return journey takes 1 hour 30 minutes and is still cabled, followed by a 15-minute climb to the top of the gondola.
