Via Ferrata Kandersteg-Allmenalp — Local services in Kandersteg

The via is absolutly astounding. By far the best I've done. Here is some relevant information I wish I had known: The via ferrata is free access so you dont need to pay an can do it anytime you want If you go by car, there is a parking by the chairlift. The price is 7CHT The via ferrata is pretty hard compared to others I've done. There arent many hand grabs. Mostly it's just steel bars for the feet, so I recomend doing it only if you have some climbing experience -The climbing takes about 2hrs at a normal pace, and then about 20min walking up to reach the chairlift station where you can choose to take it or walk down The trail down is pretty physical. It takes around 2hrs. It's pretty steep. I'm in good shape and my legs where trembling reaching the bottom. The trail through the forest splits several times on the way down and isn’t very well marked, which makes it hard to know which path to take. If your goal is to return to the chairlift parking lot, I recommend always taking the left path at each fork. You’ll see red and white markers along the way. At one point, it may look like the trail ends at a wooden cabin, but it actually continues a little further downhill. It goes next and above multiple waterfalls. If I did it again I would wear a swimsuit as there are multiple stops on the way up where you can get under...

After work I just visitet that via ferrata to check out, is it OK or not to go, with my friends from outside Switzerland. Doesn't paid for a parking wthout shower and without a clean toilet CHF 20.- from 18 00 to 07 00 AM. The day time parking from 07 00 to 18 00 is CHF 5.-

FROM THE ENTRY JUST CHECKED LESS THAN 25 METRES. My car was in the tire tracks by a fireplace for this short time.

A strange farmer almost drove in my car from behind on the right hand side during on the way back to the main road. Really, I mean you accept to go in an accident and destfoing your tractor and my car?

Now you awaken he screamed. He blabla. I saw his tracktor lights from the via ferrata. BUT HE MAINTAINED THAT WITHOUT INTERRUPTION YOU WHERE IN YOUR CAR SLEEPING. We're cheap give me CHF 20.- NOW! BLABLABLABLA WHAT A SUPER UNFRIENDLY FARMER WITHOUT LISTENING MY SWISS GERMAN. HE JUST TRIED TO MAKE SOME EXTRA MONEY. Racist behavior.

Don't go there! I PAY FOR CAMPING OVERNIGHT, BUT NOT TO GRAZY, UNFRIENDLY HALFWILD PEOPLES. The use of helmet I recommend there not only in the...

This was the most exhilarating but also terrifying experience I've had in Switzerland so far.

I did the one in mürren and it was good but nothing compared to this one.

Walking on the side of a mountain was amazing. I felt 100% safe but stepping on 8 inches of rebar all the way up was definitely scary at times.

The view was gorgeous all the way up, seeing to waterfall and the entire place from the side of a mounted made every look better. To me this is something that a hike would just not done for me.

I would do it again and other via ferratas as well.

I hope these pictures will encourage you to try.... BUT once you start you have to finish

I WOULD NOT recommend this to someone who has never done one before or has experience in climbing ( which I have) and hights This is NOT a first time route to try... I recommend murren...
