For those who might not understand... Speaking as a climber, it's not frightening because your mind is very focused on ONLY where your feet (and hands) are as you make each move. Yes, you can enjoy the position you are in, the view etc, but only when you feel or know you are at a completely stable point. That may happen between two steps or when you reach a wider ledge, but mostly you are focused on your steps, you breathing, and on what is within 2 or 3 feet of you. This is also the way to climb huge mountains. You never really try to take on the whole mountain as one thing, you climb in smaller stages, from one rest to another. Basically you break your route down into sections. Either way, the idea is that you stay within yourself, within the immediate environment and presence of mind. If you lose yourself in the wider "dream" well... let's just say that's when things may go wrong. If you undersrand this then climbing anything is not so scary. And not just climbing but in life as well.
I actually did this!!! I just graduated and went to Switzerland to celebrate and see a bit of the world. Some locals told me about this hike, it takes about 2 hours and it is amazing!! Terrifying at some points however it is totally breathtaking the entities time! I would definitely do it again if I got the chance.
@jacksoncook Congratulations on your graduation 🎓 I really think it's important to get acknowledged so big kudos to you and much success in the future! And as far as the rock walking goes it's great if you enjoy that kind of thing 😜 I have my own rules of engagement but it's nice to hear that you had a blast!🎉🎉🎉😊
I DID THAT ONE! Great fun, beautiful views on Lauterbrunnen valley, this section where you can see the straight drop down thru the the wire steps was so intimidating haha
Ok, so I completed this after your CZcams inspiration! It was so much more than you said it would be!😂 I’m 53, and just recovered from open heart surgery 1 1/2 years ago, and because of you, I defied the odds and did something amazing!! Thank you!
OMG YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY THIS COMMENT MADE US WHEN WE SAW THE NOTIFICATION!! You are such a badass and this is exactly why we do what we do 🥹 We love sharing inspiration and our travels with you and are so proud you did this crazy hike 🩷
@@ian.and.ana. I am so glad, it really inspired me to get fit again and show my teenaged daughter we can do anything if we put our mind and heart into it! Was my first solo trip too!
As a climber: Do not do via ferratas without instructions. You have to know some stuff about the use of the equipment and about how to behave at a ferrata. In the end it is not unrisky if you have no knowledge. Do a training course before doing them ;)
Yes as a noob I wouldn’t suggest it, but if you’ve got climbing experience and have done a via Feratta with an instructor before you’re all good. I’m a climber and did my first one with an instructor, but had loads of climbing experience beforehand. It’s not massively dissimilar from climbing but there are a few points to take note of.
I did it yesterday! It’s awesome! I faced my fear of heights and honestly- this video it’s more scary than the reality. On the wall you are just focused on each step and You feel secure because of many steps and You are attached too. Anyway, breathing and amazing experience!
For all who want to do this: you can rent gears at the intersport but please consider this: -you need hiking boots that cover your ankles. Orherwise you have to rent some at the store. -if the weatherforecast is bad, gears will not be rented. -you NEED a reservation, at least 3 days before. -be aware of what you will be facing. Its easy but scary. There will be a LOT of people this summer.
It is not the scariest in Swiss, it is just K3 level out of 6. It is probably most pictures one. Daubenhorn is most scariest and complicated in Swiss - it has K5 level.
@@MrAchile13 Previous summer I traveled there and during my research I found only max K5 in Swiss. It is Via Ferrata Gemmi Daubenhorn Leukerbad. Unfortunately, my friends didn't want to make it due to complication of this one (as it is required proper physical preparation), but I did Murren via Ferrata.
You don't need a guide anywhere in the Alps. But unless you really know what you're doing, it is advisable to hire a guide onto high peaks and glaciers. Most via ferrata are actually tourist attractions, accessible to anyone who is reasonably fit. But even with the right gear you can still get hurt or injured very badly.
Looks like you had a 360 camera, if so which one? Besides the invisible selfie stick what mount would you suggest now? Backpack, helmet? I've bought the insta 360 x4 haven't taken it out of box yet. Doing the via ferrata in Banff soon and looking for suggestions for the best shots. Really think backpack mount on a short stick would look great and leave hands free. Any other videos from this hike?
This would be a thing that you would be so scared to do but once you do it think back about how it was fun/you’d do it again and you’d have a great time
Tzz if i had to guess a beginner klettersteig in suisse. Not scary and not hard at all xd. Try the watzmann überschreitung if you want a more fun hike or if you are more brave "hochkalter überschreitung"... both are fun.
What if you could parachute from that if you fell? Like parachuting is part of the activity (if you complete the hike you wont parachute but if you dont you will parachute)
My cousins did this last week, 1 of which DIDN'T mention to the other a woman passed in that very spot THE DAY BEFORE 😮 Its a NOPE NOPE hellll nope for me but thanks for doin it and ahowing awesomely beautiful veiws I didnt gwt to see on their climb 😅
Whoever put those ledges and cables there are the real kings.
Yesss!!
They were put in on a traverse lead, strenuous but Safetied the every move. Just need a properly fitted harness that doesn't pinch.😮
Alex Honnold
Real question is. Who dafuq put those steps there?
Bad climbers did
Rii😂
Weak climbers
Army did.
Yes Thats good question

Yes once you get a few hundred metres up the height part seems to take a backseat as you focus
Its like mountain meditation
@@michar9242 yup
Okay. Yeah. Doesn’t really seem appealing at all.

Death wish? 😂
Where in Switzerland exactly if you don't mind? Live there and would love to know
@@madAL402
Not sure if I understand what you're asking. This is the Klettersteig Mürren.
I live in Switzerland and I also did that hike. I can confirm it was really scary. But it was really fun and you should try it :)
What's the name of this via ferrata ?
@@pawel560 Via ferrata Mürren
You lucky ❤
Yes me too it’s incroyabel ❤
Wife and I completed this one today. Spectacular !!
Sweaty hands, SWEATY HANDS!
Not with a selfie stick I wouldn’t. Good job. Post videos of your falls also!
Love yaa😂😂😂❤
😊😂😂
You should not fall in a Via Ferrata, it might bee rather hard, but not in this one, becouse it is horizontal 😅
Totally agree, numpty....
I DID THAT ONE! Great fun, beautiful views on Lauterbrunnen valley, this section where you can see the straight drop down thru the the wire steps was so intimidating haha
What was the name of the this Via ferrata??
As an old man who once did a lot of rock climbing this looks very fun and pretty much risk free. I most certainly would give it go.
I did that with a very helpful guide. Thoroughly enjoyed the hike. This was indeed the scariest section for me. This videos gives it perspective.
.....salute to the person who put iron support n rope..❤
That is so courageous of both of you. Thank you for sharing.
I was getting nervous just watching that sooo um NO I’m definitely not gonna do that 😬😬😬😬

Love that place... That valley is incredibly picturesque. 😍
Right!! 😍😍
I’m Swiss, yes but I do it as a hobby 😊
😂😂
They said it was for beginners 😂
It’s K3 so it’s really not that bad. The scale goes up to K6
this looks outstanding. Great job guys

few days ago i've done my first via ferrata without the longe... I'm from Courmayeur so no problem at all

We were lucky it was foggy underneath us, but it was still scary as hell 😂😂😂 we enjoyed the Ferrata to the last meter ☺️
It seems his going down the trail, arent u spposed to climb up or am i interpreting this wrong?
That’s not lucky! Lol you want to see those beautiful views.
Thank you so much for Sharing!!!!!
This is amazing bc Switzerland is small but can be beautiful 😍 😊❤
Yes exactly!!
No! It can’t be beautiful. IT IS beautiful!
Breathtaking!

That is AWESOME!! I wish I was still young! That is definately something I would have loved doing.
I used to jump from the start of this one when I was base jumping 🤪
100% yes I think I'm gonna go next week, I had nothing to do, thanks ☺️
Las vistas preciosas !!!Riesgo alto la caída mortal.👍👍
Big YES!
Oh my god this is scary 😧 you guys are soooooo brave 👏
😂 Thank you!!
We ❤ Switzerland 🇨🇭🍫🫕
I love via ferratas! Looks like a fun one. I’m afraid of heights and a rock climber.
Incredible! I really wanna do one of these "hikes"!
Alex Honnold: 'that's how i warm up..' 😂
Absolutely! Looks like fun!
love it!!!
❤️❤️
Yes . In a heartbeat
Amazing folks. Simply amazing.
So innovative.. i hope someday in my country someone will make this, so it is not difficult for climbing/hiking 😂❤
Can you do this if you’ve never climbed before and without guide?
Yes! We have never done a via ferrata before this and just went up, rented gear for $30 and did the 3 hour hike
Amazing 🙌🏼 Good work!
Yeap no worries. Without a saftey line i diffinately would not...😅
I wanna try for sure thanks for sharing
Is this on trail or you have different entrances?
I don't know whether I can keep my cool and balance.
I’m scared of heights, but I would still do it to see how long I would last😂💀✨
DEFINITELY NOT....😮
Der kelttersteig mürren ist gemutlich, Schwierigkeitsgrad einfach. The scariest Hike ist in der schweiz das daubenhorn mit 8h klettern suf 3000 hm.

I am not gonna lie I would be so scared if I did that it’s a beautiful view thought
The scariest hike in Switzerland is not this :D Try Matterhorn, Eiger (west face), or heck even Grauspitz (kinda, 🇱🇮)
north face
@@waveril5167 yea north face is in a different league. I purposely said west
Sure. I did it already. Pretty good exposure on it but not difficult. Bridge was fun.
Absolutely. Doing this in October. 2 nights in Műrren....one to do this, the next day to stop panicking🤣🤣🤣
I would so do that, I looove via Ferrata!!!!
In switzerland?!
I've never heard about that!
I live in Switzerland but WOW!
Denn weisch etz wa ztue hesch
Me too😂
How !?, they’re literally all over Switzerland in pretty much most of the valleys, there’s even a couple near Geneva
wow! beautiful view but no i would never do that
in austria we call this klettersteig, mountain climbing but rather a hike than walk
Will someone explain how they first installed those steel bars there?
It is not the scariest in Swiss, it is just K3 level out of 6. It is probably most pictures one. Daubenhorn is most scariest and complicated in Swiss - it has K5 level.
Talking about via ferrata isn’it the 3rd section of the Saillon one the most difficult ?
Is there any K6 in Switzerland?

I would absolutely do it
I did it, frist time after come back from a business trip in US and hangover. Got to push yourself
NO!! I would have to be drunk & stoned to go up there.
Looks like you had a 360 camera, if so which one? Besides the invisible selfie stick what mount would you suggest now? Backpack, helmet? I've bought the insta 360 x4 haven't taken it out of box yet.

Yes I wanna try it ❤
OMG!!!! Not me baby. I get dizzy in thick socks LOL
It’s called via Ferrara or iron road
Dankeschön für die Erklärung😊😊😊
FerraTa
already did it! great fun!
Of course I would what a silly question😅
Mein alter Schulweg ... täglich Augen zu und durch!
😂
Would give it a try ! ❤
The one on the Daubenhorn is fun 😁
I did this last year, filmed some shots, my hands were shaking a little bit. Definitely, I want to try more
Via ferrata are the pups' nuts in good weather.
Very beautiful
Super craziness 😊😮❤
I love it
Bro the poor guy that had to put the steps in
No joke!
absolutely!
What happens if you're going down while someone is coming up? They built in steps for the inexperienced. Kind of like Everest tourism.
You can only go one way!
Wowwwww! no words more!!!
This would be a thing that you would be so scared to do but once you do it think back about how it was fun/you’d do it again and you’d have a great time
Sure, no problem
How long has those wires n cables been bombarded by the element
I've done it a few times :), we call it in Switzerland *Kletterstig*
I’ve done it a few times too
I did it with a blindfold on
Translation: one who might fall off a mountain
Tzz if i had to guess a beginner klettersteig in suisse. Not scary and not hard at all xd.
Try the watzmann überschreitung if you want a more fun hike or if you are more brave "hochkalter überschreitung"... both are fun.
What an awesome experience ❤
Amazing ❤
If i know my country right then that mountain is probably full of bunkers lol😂😅
Omg😮..rather I want to go to the Disco with frens and have some fun😅
You prob saw me do this on crystal ball and why
I'm going to do it? cause I saw you do it
What if you could parachute from that if you fell?
Like parachuting is part of the activity (if you complete the hike you wont parachute but if you dont you will parachute)
There’s actually a base jumping platform halfway round
Would I do it? HELL NO !!!!!
How do those steps even stay in the rocks anyways !?
They epoxy them into holes that are drilled
Without safety line would be thrilling.
Yes, but with both hands on the rope and no harness.
My cousins did this last week, 1 of which DIDN'T mention to the other a woman passed in that very spot THE DAY BEFORE 😮 Its a NOPE NOPE hellll nope for me but thanks for doin it and ahowing awesomely beautiful veiws I didnt gwt to see on their climb 😅
Is this therapy for fear of heights? 🙈😜👌🏻
😂
Then you starve to death up there.... Nobody can save you there and if you freeze from fear, that's it XD
Would love to 😍
❤️❤️
