Intro

Experienced climbers with a head for heights will welcome the opportunity to experience a “rock-climbing adventure” in the Saas Valley – the Via Ferrata Experience.

Via ferrata are secured with steel ropes and, where needed, ladders. For fit mountain lovers, they offer an intermediate step between hiking and climbing as a sport.

Jägihorn via ferrata, 3,206 m

The panoramic Jegihorn offers a beautiful Alpine via ferrata combined with breathtaking views of Switzerland’s highest mountain.

Mittaghorn via ferrata, 3,143 m

The Mittaghorn via ferrata offers a simple tour with good prospects, which is also suitable for beginners.

This via ferrata promises thrills and unique views of the Saas mountain world. Its difficulty rating is in the region of K-3 (quite hard) and K-4 (hard), so some experience of climbing is an advatage.

Via Ferrata del Lago

This via ferrata goes from the Almagell valley to the Italian Antrona valley (a two-day trip). In good weather, you can see as far as Lake Maggiore.

Mini via ferrata in Saas-Grund

You don’t always have to be up high to experience the via ferrata feeling. The mini via ferrata is just a few minutes away from the valley station of the mountain railway in Saas-Grund.

Furggstalden climbing practice wall

Recently renovated climbing wall for children and beginners in countryside that is not too steep. This is a fun way of learning about hoists and abseiling.
