Karhorn via ferrata east and west ridge

Relax again on the ascent with the Steffisalp-Express before you go. Now you have left most of the altitude meters behind and can march at your own pace towards the Wartherhornsattel. From here you get the appropriate equipment, because now the via ferrata also begins. The east ridge of the via ferrata leads from the entrance to the summit in difficulty level A/B. This section is therefore ideally suited for all beginners of the via ferrata and those with light experience of the via ferrata and meets the requirements in any case. Continue on the Westgrat. Starting from the summit, you’ll be aware that beginners are at their limits here. In difficulty levels B/C, the few hundred meters also challenge experienced via ferrata climbers. With airy and exposed ridge climbing, vertigo and surefootedness are required. Nevertheless, this part is an ultimate experience and you should not miss it! A long rock plate with rope securing forms the exit of the western ridge. From here, a path first leads down over the southern slope of the Karhorn and back towards the Wartherhornsattel. If you wish, you can also take the summit of the Wartherhorn with you before you return to the Steffisalp-Express mountain station via the approach path.
