This via ferrata does not lead up, but down. This is no joke and definitely something different! But it's not just the via ferrata that goes down - the steep rock faces on the way to Gimmelwald are also quite steep.

The via ferrata is categorised as grade K3 (fairly difficult) on the SAC via ferrata scale.
In some sections you are already on steeper
steeper rocky terrain, but the route is
secured. Steep or vertical
passages are defused by ladders or iron clamps. Wire ropes also secure the climber in less difficult terrain. Self-belaying is necessary as this via ferrata is very exposed.

If you want to attempt the via ferrata, you need to be in good physical condition, sure-footed and have a head for heights, have suitable equipment and know how to behave on the mountain.
If you are inexperienced, it is advisable to complete the via ferrata
together with a mountain guide. It's not just about technique, but also about assessing the risks, physical condition and general safety. The tour can only be undertaken in good weather
rain can the tour be undertaken.
A carabiner always remains on the safety rope.

The use of the Tyrolienne is only permitted
for safety reasons only when accompanied by a
mountain guide. Therefore, please respect the fact that the corresponding facility
is locked.

Access to the Basejump platform is prohibited for
visitors to the via ferrata.
