Switzerland’s first via ferrata transverses the middle of the Gadmerfluh. At around 600 metres in length, this is one of the longest and most spectacular via ferratas in Switzerland. The starting point for the via ferrata is the Restaurant and Berghaus Tälli, which can be easily reached by the Tällibahn. The via ferrata is open from July to October when weather conditions permit. A safe ascent is guaranteed on the 78 metres of ladders, 550 pins set in concrete and ample fixed ropes. You descend down the rear of the Gadmerfluh and return via Sätteli to the Berghaus Tälli or further down to Engstlenalp.
