Some of the most spectacular via ferratas in Switzerland and the entire Alpine region are located in the Bernese Oberland. Steep traverses at lofty heights, dreamy iron routes along narrow ridges and bold iron ladders characterise the via ferratas on the rugged rock faces.

‍

The fascination of climbing on a via ferrata becomes tangible with helmet, mountain boots and via ferrata set even for those who have not yet explored the mountain world off the hiking trails. The Bernese Oberland offers a variety of outstanding via ferratas. A popular sport via ferrata with challenging climbing passages and a magnificent mountain panorama on the summit of the 2176 m high Gantrisch is the Gantrisch via ferrata of the same name. The Kandersteg-Allmenalp via ferrata is also sporty and spectacular. Impressive views of the mighty Eiger north face and an unforgettable via ferrata experience can be had on the Rotstock via ferrata in the shadow of the Eiger. And if you are only looking for a short climbing adventure, head for the Mürren-Gimmelwald via ferrata.
