The Gorge Alpin Klettersteig in Saas Fee is a fantastic experience, offering a thrilling traverse through a stunning alpine gorge. Rated B/C, it's a good step up from beginner routes but still accessible for those with some prior Klettersteig experience. The route features a mix of ladders, cables, and narrow walkways clinging to the rock face, providing breathtaking views of the rushing water below and the surrounding glaciers. Expect some exposed sections and a few moments that will test your head for heights. While technically not overly challenging, the constant exposure and the physical demands of navigating the course make it a rewarding adventure. Remember to check the weather forecast before heading out and ensure you have appropriate equipment, including a helmet, harness, and Klettersteig set. The descent is straightforward and well-marked, leading you back to Saas Fee with a sense of accomplishment and incredible memories.
