Climbing the Hexensteig, a captivating via ferrata graded B/C, offers an exhilarating alpine experience. This route is considered moderately difficult, making it accessible to those with some prior via ferrata experience or good general fitness and a head for heights. The ascent typically involves traversing varied terrain, from rocky scrambles to exposed sections secured by steel cables and iron rungs. While not overly technical, the B/C grading indicates portions where strength and surefootedness are required, especially on steeper inclines or short vertical passages. The reward for your efforts is breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The descent often follows a well-marked hiking trail, allowing you to reflect on the stunning vistas and the sense of accomplishment. The Hexensteig is a fantastic choice for an engaging day out in the mountains, combining physical challenge with incredible natural beauty.
