Via Ferrata La Videmanette 2 is the more direct and sporty line on the west side of the Rubli above Rougemont. It is rated K3 and follows the southwest ridge to the west summit before a ridge path leads on toward the main top. The route is relatively short but can feel airy in places, so it suits climbers who are comfortable moving efficiently on iron and rock. The approach from La Videmanette is brief, and the descent uses Via Ferrata 1 near the summit cross. The season is limited, and access depends on the lift operating period.
