Via Ferrata Mürren
High above the Lauterbrunnen valley, the via ferrata leads down along a steep rock face from Mürren to Gimmelwald. Very steep passages are assisted with the use of stairs, ladders and grips. This climb is 2.2km long with 300-meter altitude difference. Use of the zip line is only permitted in the company of a mountain guide; otherwise it is bypassed with a rope bridge. One of the highlights is the crossing of the gorge at the end of the climb with a Nepalese style bridge. Time required is roughly 3 hours.

Descent
After the Nepalese style bridge, the trail leads through alpine meadows directly to the Gimmelwald station of Schilthorn mountain rail.
