Bernese Oberland – Via ferratas

In the Bernese Oberland you climb close to famous peaks: in Grindelwald, routes lead to the Rotstock and to the Ostegg hut on the Eiger, and there is also the Schwarzhorn. Mürren–Gimmelwald sits high above the Lauterbrunnen valley. Kandersteg offers sporty routes around K4 with the Allmenalp and the Fründenschnur. More relaxed goals are the Hornfluh near Saanen, the Chäligang in Adelboden and the Simmeflue near Wimmis.
