Via Ferrata at Mürrenfluh

Julie
"Highly recommend! I went back and forth between deciding whether to save money and do this on our own or go with a guide. We are outdoorsy people but had never done a via ferrata. I'm glad we went with a guide. The exposure and heights made me uncomfortable so I'm glad we had a guide who told us what to expect and explained the best way to navigate certain sections. The experience was phenomenal and our guide was sociable and kept a watch on things without being obtrusive. I felt safe and was able to enjoy myself in the moment. What an experience!"

Right at the beginning of this tour, you will notice that this tour is not for the faint-hearted. The entry point is an abseiling passage - of an incredible 50 metres. And also after this, one highlight chases the other. Jumps, slides (even a zip line) and emerald green pools to only name a few. Of
