"Eclipse" Evening at High Altitude with the Guides' Office

ECLIPSE SPECIAL: Via Cordata on the Besson Lakes Cliffs

Treat yourself to an exceptional experience during the eclipse on August 12. As the late-afternoon light bathes the peaks of Oisans, set off on a vertical adventure along the Via Cordata at the Falaises des Lacs Besson, before witnessing a unique celestial spectacle in an exceptional natural setting.

Accompanied and secured by a professional guide, you’ll make your way along the cliffs overlooking the high-altitude lakes. Aerial crossings, accessible climbing sections, and breathtaking panoramic views unfold one after another in a particularly magical atmosphere as sunset approaches.

Along the route, you’ll enjoy a prime vantage point to observe the eclipse—a moment frozen in time when the mountains are bathed in stunning light and the sky offers a rare spectacle. The adventure will then continue with a spectacular 60-meter rappel—the true highlight of this outing—to end the evening with your head full of memories.

Suitable for motivated beginners as well as active families, this special edition combines adventure, contemplation, and discovery. A unique opportunity to experience the mountains in a whole new way, between the sky and the cliffs, during an evening that won’t be repeated anytime soon.
