Via Ferrata HexensteigVia Ferrata Hexensteig
A compact alpine via ferrata in the Silenen area, the Hexensteig is a route for climbers who enjoy a short but engaging outing with a mountain feel. Expect steep passages, secured movement on rock, and a route that asks for sure footing rather than endless length. The setting gives the climb its character: exposed enough to feel adventurous, yet still manageable for those with basic via ferrata experience and a steady head for heights. Plan your day with the approach and descent in mind, and check local conditions before setting out. In alpine terrain, weather and route conditions can change quickly, so the most pleasant experience usually comes with a calm forecast and good visibility.
