Activities from Rochers-de-Naye

Hike to Jaman:

The mountain hike requires good mountain equipment and experience. You will pass through the Naye caves on the way. This is a steep, 170 m long tube for which you will need good footwear, a helmet and a headlamp. The path alternates between narrow (and slippery) passages and wide caves.
However, there is a second route for which you do not need this equipment. It is called the "ladder path" and consists of several steep steps on the rock face. If you have a fear of heights, this path is not recommended.

Alpine garden la Rambertia :

The alpine garden is open from June to September and is home to more than 1000 alpine flowers and plants. Entry is free of charge.

Via Ferrata (via ferrata):

In summer (May to October) you can take the via ferrata from Rochers de Naye. This mountain route is an intense experience for which you need good climbing experience and mountaineering equipment. The mountain route is equipped with cables, ladders, ramps and handrails.

Traveling with a dog

  • Small dogs up to 30 cm at the withers may travel free of charge in transport boxes or other animal-friendly containers under the seat. However, as soon as the small dog is no longer in the container, it requires its own ticket.
  • The ticket for dogs is half the price for 2nd class or the minimum fare (Dog Day Pass, Dog Pass). Dogs must sit under your seat so that the passageway is not blocked for other passengers.
