Breathtaking Views and Thrilling
Amazing vertical views! I hiked in the summer and was fortunate enough to have perfect weather for this climb. My very first Via Ferrata experience, so I have nothing to compare it to, but can't wait to seek out others around the globe.
I rented gear in town and tackled this on my own, without a guide. The ladders we're incredible, the tightropes fun, and the cliff face, well, it was absolutely the scariest thing I've ever done, but also the most thrilling! At the end I stopped in the middle of the suspension bridge and ate my lunch, waving at the gondolas as they passed by(everyone waved back and took pictures of me). That was a lot of fun and allowed me to really soak it all in and take note of my journey. The entire experience was exhilarating and I would recommend this to everyone looking for adventure. It's definitely not for the faint of heart, who have fears of heights.
Happy hiking!

Spectacular and fairly easy
This was my first via ferrata. It's not very strenuous but the exposure can be pretty scary, so a good head for heights is necessary. I'm not used to looking at my feet and seeing a couple thousand feet of air below them. The final bridge was kind of unnerving too. Overall this was super fun and I plan to do more via ferratas.

Great exposure
This was my first via ferrata. The exposure and variety of bridges made it a fun hike.
I had an opportunity to spend a weekend in Switzerland this summer (2013) and a friend suggested I go to Interlaken and try the Via Feratta. I'm so happy I did. We went early in the morning and only saw one other person on the trail. The towns were completely empty at 9am. It was an amazing hike with great views and a lot of fun exposure. I would recommend it to anyone who is in the area.

Amazing Fun
For many years I have wanted to try the Via Ferrata. It's my luck that my first one was more on the easy side. But the exposure was still magnificent in some spots and with bridges and ladders and cable crossings it was a wonderful experience. Thanks Mark for the write-up!

Done twice - enjoyable outing
I completed this enjoyable route in 2008 not long after it first opened - and then did it again following year on a day the weather was too poor to go high.
