The Via Ferrata de Tière is a compact but varied route above Champéry, set in the rocky gorge of the Torrent de la Frâche. It is best known for its short approach, well-secured climbing, and the exposed, playful atmosphere of the line. Suspension bridges add a water-level thrill, while a short overhang and airy rock sections keep the effort interesting. The descent continues through the remarkable Galerie Défago, so the outing feels like a full mountain experience rather than just a climb.
