Daubenhorn via ferrata (full, 08.2025)

Climbing the Daubenhorn via ferrata from Leukerbad, Switzerland — the longest via ferrata in the country, rated K5–K6 (extremely difficult). I started at 4:30 a.m. in the dark to enjoy the route without the crowds. The climb gains nearly 1,000 m in elevation, features exposed sections, ladders, and a cave passage, and typically takes 6–9 hours. A full-day adventure for experienced climbers with proper equipment looking for spectacular alpine views.
