Schwarzhorn via ferrata - Grindelwald

If the Schwarzhorn stands quite in the shadow of the Faulhorn (2681 m), despite the great panorama, it is probably because the path is somewhat more challenging and summit climbers cannot sit on the terrace shouting "Miss, a beer!" So the Schwarzhorn remains a destination for self-supplied visitors. Some of them have carried not only food and drink in their backpacks for over ten years but also a via ferrata set. Since 1995, wire ropes and some rather airy ladders have hung on the southwest ridge, providing a light adrenaline rush. You can also experience this on the "First Cliff Walk" since autumn 2015. The circular route at the gondola mountain station First consists of a walkway on the rocks of the rocky summit, a suspension bridge, and an ascent walkway with a viewing cabin facing the high mountains of Grindelwald. Neither via ferrata gear nor hiking boots are needed to walk the cliff path.
