Via Ferrata Hornfluh is a short, approachable route above Schönried and Saanenmöser that suits anyone looking for a compact mountain experience rather than a long athletic outing. It is a good option for learning climbing technique, with a route length of about 100 metres and a very brief approach from Hotel Hornberg. The route faces east and is rated K2, so it is not especially demanding, but it is not meant to be done on your own. It may only be done with a mountain guide and includes elements that require special equipment, such as a zip line. In return, the tour offers open views across the Saanenland.
