The Jegihorn-Klettersteig, located high above Saas-Fee in the Swiss Valais, is a true highlight for via ferrata enthusiasts. Graded C/D, it demands good physical condition, arm strength, and a solid head for heights. The adventure begins with a scenic approach across the glacier (often from Felskinn), leading to the impressive rock face of the Jegihorn. The climb itself is long and varied, featuring numerous exposed passages, steep ladders, and fixed cables that guide you along ridges and up vertical sections. What truly sets it apart are the breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding 4,000-meter peaks of the Mischabel group, vast glaciers, and the picturesque Saas-Fee valley far below. It's a challenging, exhilarating, and unforgettable high-alpine experience. The return typically follows the same approach path back across the glacier, making for a full day's adventure in a spectacular mountain setting.
