    The Ladders of Death are a route formed by three metal ladders. They also designate a Via ferrata course which is on the same site and which offers a circuit suspended between the cliffs of the Doubs gorges. Sensitive souls refrain. Breathtaking experience.

      Please note that most of the photos associated with the route are photos of the via ferrata and the names of the ladders themselves, which are very solid stairs and not rope bridges! It is perfectly feasible for hiking, even if the height can be disconcerting.

        The damaged ladder was replaced with a new one and is accessible again.
