Both routes are operated by Nature et Sensations, run in French and English, and sit at an "Occasionally sporty" physical level, so the real differentiator is intensity and time. The Boffi via ferrata costs 40 € for a half-day: a compact session that suits first-timers who want to test their grip on iron rungs and exposed rock faces without committing to a long day. The Liaucous route above the Tarn Gorges runs 4h and costs 42 €, placing you high above one of southern France's most dramatic river canyons. For just 2 € more, you get significantly more vertical exposure and a longer sustained adrenaline window. Pick Boffi if it's your first via ferrata. Pick Liaucous if you're ready to push further along the cliff line.

Harness, helmet and via ferrata lanyard (Y-shaped energy-absorbing set) are typically provided by Nature et Sensations, but confirm at booking. Wear closed-toe shoes with a firm sole, bring water and dress in layers since cliff faces in the Millau area can be exposed to wind even in summer.
Getting there
The Boffi session starts at the Boffi via ferrata car park in Millau (12100), while the Liaucous route meets at the Liaucous church car park on the D907 in Mostuéjouls (12720), roughly 20 km north of Millau along the Tarn Gorges road.
