Additional Information
-
Participants should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness

The visit does not require any special physical performance. Along the route, visitors are accompanied by a guide and a safety officer. Before entering the heart of the work of art, visitors are equipped with a protective helmet and harness and invited to experience the 'on the ground' simulation of certain passages - in particular a reproduction of the cerclage and one of the vertical ladder - to familiarise themselves with the use of safety devices.
