Mittaghorn: The Perfect Intro to Via Ferrata

A beautiful via ferrata adventure on the solid and scenic Mittaghorn in Switzerland. This route is graded easy to moderate, making it an excellent choice for beginners or anyone looking for a relaxing alpine day out. The route offers a bit of everything — safe exposure, solid rock, and incredible summit panoramas. Aside from a bit of dodgy summit identification from Dave (hopefully corrected in this edit!), it was a near-perfect day in the mountains. 🧗‍♂️ Route: Mittaghorn Via Ferrata 🎯 Grade: K2 – Easy to Moderate 📍 Location: Saas-Fee region, Switzerland Whether you're planning your first via ferrata or just enjoy stunning alpine scenery, I hope this gives you a good feel for what Mittaghorn has to offer. 👍 If you enjoyed this, please like and subscribe for more mountain adventures! 🧭 Drop your favourite beginner-friendly via ferrata recommendations in the comments! 00:00 Introduction – Mittaghorn via ferrata 00:11 Approach and first views of the route 01:26 Slabs and initial exposed section 02:25 Summit Cross and Panorama 05:09 Route discussion and difficulty 05:39 Comparison with UK scrambles 05:55 Final views and descent If you’ve enjoyed the video and would like to support the channel, you can buy me a coffee ☕️ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/suelyth #swissalps #viaferrata #alpineadventure #mountainclimbing #swissalps
