Switzerlands longest Via Ferrata Leukerbad

The Daubenhorn via ferrata is the longest in Switzerland, graded K5 (extremely difficult). It is made of 2, 000 metres of steel cable, 215 metres of ladder and a couple of steel cable bridges. It takes a good 5 hours to climb (almost 1000m up) and when you have finally reached the top (2941 metres), you still need to cross a glacier (6:27) and walk downhill for 2 hours. At the end of the day, you can relax your muscles in the bubbling water of Leukerbad s thermal baths (6:50). Not only this is the longest one in Switzerland but it is also the most beautiful one. It has many memorable highlights including a giant Swiss flag (1:26) and a cave with a waterfall (2:46). If you want to experience what if feels like to walk on a steel cable at high altitude, make sure to watch 2:33 and 5:27
