I Attempted Switzerland's Longest Via Ferrata

[@bbacalhau]

Some people have been asking how I got down. There's a sort of trail on the other side of the mountain that takes you all the way back to the campsite. It took me 4 hours to get down, and I arrived at the van by 1 AM. But to be honest, that was the easiest part. Please do NOT attempt this route if you don’t have experience-it is extremely dangerous.

[@marianprikryl5536]

The quality of your filming even in that tough conditions is insane, keep going Bernardo, you are my TOP1 creator!

[@neutronicsha]

The amount of strength (both mentally and physically) that doing this takes (and the fact that you could summon it!) is absolutely insane. Kudos to you Bernardo! Thank you for documenting this for us!

[@YnseSchaap]

I've done this route and every time I watch a video of people doing this they always forget to mention that there is a way down after the second stage. Also, you need a lot of water because a large part is in full sun ! although it gets the highest grade you are protected you only need to keep your emotions in check 😁You did a great job (that last bit gets people every time, I started late just to do the last past in the dark, getting to the summit at night is a sight you'll never forget)

[@himanshusingh-pm7ov]

at 9:17 when you are describing the climb, i feel there comes a moment when when you transition from talking to the camera to you talking to yourself. and the way it was said captures the essence of what is at the stake.

[@bbacalhau]

I was definitely talking to myself 😅

[@vadirajjoshi8264]

Hats off to the quality of content you put there. I really wait for every video you put out there. This guy should be given a big cookie for his honesty and no drama in his work.

[@Beaut_Beau]

Dude there is absolutely no flipping way i would ever attempt such a thing, my hats off to you brave sir. And to think you were filming this solo hike solo too, absolutely incredible work mate.

[@BipinThagunna-g4n]

Hello Bernardo. I am a medical student. I come to see you because your videos makes me feel relaxed, free from stress and makes me joyful.. You are the aid for my anxiety.. Love from Nepal 🇳🇵

[@OffTheBucketList]

Kudos to author and even more kudos to people who first climbed that rout and then laid the cables and ladders down. Thank you for sharing this incredible experience.

[@lemur7493]

Had never seen you before. I loved your attitude and honesty in this video. Succinctly put "some risks are just not worth taking." Thanks for uploading this!

[@preyahamirthalingam6934]

Thank you for making it and thank you for capturing the experience. You're on the list of my TOP1 creators! Still trying to process what you did - INSANE !!!!

[@bresh9019]

Nice video! I did that Via Ferrata with my girlfriend this summer and I remember that it was really fun in the beginning but later you just hope that it ends soon. We had the same experience when you thought its was the end but in fact you still have about >1h to go... The way back on the glacier is also quite sketch if you don't really know where to go. And of course, it was also too late for us to get the cable car to go down. I guess you'll remember that journey for ever. Congratulations for doing it until the end!

[@harshvardhanpatil222]

I was waiting for your video for so long 😢 I am so happy now ❤❤

[@Fiqahorles]

Me too❤

[@klauspe]

Damn, what a video! Happy you made it back

[@knisterkultur476]

Very well filmed! This is known as the hardest via ferrata in switzerland. As Bernardo mentioned: it's definitively not for beginners. Although it normally doesn't take 12 hours to make it. I did it in 5 hours and I was not fast at all compared to other climbers. There is an exit after the first third of the route (where Bernardo paused in the gras). So if one is not sure to be ready, he can start and decide at this exit to proceed or not. If you don't feel well alone: the via ferrata is crowded during summer season.

[@Elementboy6522]

What's the name of this route? It looks fun.

[@knisterkultur476]

@Elementboy6522 Klettersteig Daubenhorn

[@atrib_]

Still not the hardest, that's the K6 in Charmey. However, Charmey has a 20m difficult section, whereas Daubenhorn is long and arduous. But individual sections are not demanding in isolation.

[@knisterkultur476]

@@atrib_ You might be right, never did Charmey.

[@Tay-ho6sg]

@@atrib_ damn i alreaady feel like i was at my limit at k3 in engelberg. i think there was a 5m section with no rest, that was quite a challenge after the previous sections.

[@thedudeabides1]

you should honestly be proud of your accomplishment here dude. I could feel how scared you understandably were here... I would have felt exactly the same, if not more scared. You made it dude.

[@ionamaclean2698]

Oh my goodness Bernard, this is crazy crazy crazy!!!!! We love you too much for you to be taking risks like this! I felt sick watching this! Incredibly brave of you but just stick with the bike and van now!! 😂 🤘🏻

[@janekennet2877]

I felt sick just watching most of that. Chapeau and glad you survived to make another more gentle video. 🤗

you're crazy bro, kudos to that! glad you made it out safe to give out this banger of a video, my legs were shaking just watching the video!

[@thehumanchris]

DUDE! My palms were so sweaty as i was watching this whole video hahaha i could sense your relief at "the end" but also how scary it must have been. A little part of me really wants to go and try it out some day 👀

[@bbacalhau]

You should have joined me dude, it would have been a relief to have you there!

[@thehumanchris]

@@bbacalhau😭😭😭 glad you made it back safe anyway

[@lacvice]

@thehumanchris I advise you not to even try this as it is very risky and dangerous. Bernardo shouldn't have done that... as he mentioned in the video, I was going to freack out, I almost did go crazy... You must always weigh the danger and not take risks... you are too precious to us and we don't want to lose you

[@marlenecoop3745]

@lacvice nah if you know how to use the equipment and know how to tackle technical climbs, it's pretty safe. But I agree, this one is pretty hard because it's just so long and doing it alone is close to insane but quite impressive ngl

[@jonasbehr7521]

We sometimes call this type 2 fun, when you do something, but the fun only starts to kick in when its over. There is also type 3 fun. That's the type of fun you really don't want to have.

[@dousiastailfeather9454]

Lol! Type 3 fun is when an ER visit or law enforcement is involved! T3f also means derision and dismissal of our fun goals...such as "is this ice too thick..." Or "is this too little RDX?" See? T1f is girls on caffeine and T2f is girls on champagne! T3f is crackhead girls! Pay the piper and take your chances!

[@neelprabhu7]

Amazing video Bernardo. IDK how you had the poise and courage to film while you were up that high. The music and the overhead camera were my favorite part!!

[@valeriopierbattista]

dude my palms have been sweating for the whole length of the video. this was crazy 😮

[@atisamshah694]

One of the best adventure videos out there! 🌄 It's amazing, Bernardo-big respect for your creativity and problem-solving skills! 👏💯

[@kevinkenell]

Wow.. This was insane in ways I surely could not have expected. And the way you told this story was impeccable. Got moved by the emotions of when you thought you had finished the climb, and the genuine fear along the way. You are incredible.

[@does_he_avocado]

This needs to go viral STAT. The fact that you did this ALONE while filming which as most of us know having to go back and forth to the camera is hard enough just goes to show your dedication and we need these types of videos to Trent instead of the Mr Beast crapola

[@Arhan-c3w]

Exactly. Bernardo is underrated af. He definitely deserves more views. The quality of his videos are unparalleled.

[@vengtCent]

Doing this route solo is just plain stupid.

[@matze8019]

Saying that is stupid. Just because you don't know nor understand it does not qualify to make statements on this. I as a fellow alpinist think, it's "only" a via frerata, he can't get lost. It's not ideal to run into the dark, but with proper gear and training, there's nothing crazy about this.

[@JoanaMagify]

My hands are sweating just from watching your video. What an achievement!! Your strength kept you going 👏

[@AttilaconMochila]

I have been climbing for some time "unprofessionally" and even so I would be equally scared to attempt such a long Via Ferrata. In addition doing it alone without having done it before definetely adds to the difficulty of it. Well done to you Sir showing some preservation and strenght.

[@Buehler1997]

If you are interested in via ferratas, there are difficulty and endurance ratings. The Daubenhorn Via Ferrata is the most difficult level in Switzerland (K6) start with an easy one like K2 or K3 and work your way up. Having experience in rock climbing and mountaineering to me it was great fun, I loved the big cage and actually at the top where you unclipped there is an extra part which is the scariest of them all but super nice if you like the adrenaline kick. Also always start early, you were probably by yourself because everybody else was long gone. But kudos for pushing though 👌🏼

[@brendaapayne]

I’m only at 2:59 and my hands are already sweating from nerves 🤣

[@jamescrews3516]

Bro congratulations!! That looks awsome and scary but it get you closer to yourself

[@mat4070]

Nice climb, although the way you positioned and changed the harness when there was fixed lines is really dangerous, i recommend you watch a tutorial or smth before going to such a risky place, good luck in your next adventures and hope this advice helps!

[@Sierraalpha211]

Another tip: Don't position your two clippers in the same direction. One is facing to the wall, the other one in the oposite direction. That prevents that the both clippers are opening when putting on pressure and you're not secured anymore. Also never put your hand on the clips when climbing up/down, just lead the clipper/ carabiner hook on the rope that is connected with your harness.

[@Astro_p70]

: when I saw the metal thing broken off the mountain dude…. Edit 2: ok this insaneee!! Thank God you are safe .

[@brooklyngraham1151]

Most of this climb was sketchy, but the sheer stamina to complete the entire climb must have been devastating. The traverse across the cable was giving me a panic attack. Well done for doing it and for somehow filming the journey.

That was terrifying and I'm just sat here at a desk, thanks for the awesome video. I don't know how you can do the climb and still make such great content at the same time. One thing I'm always curious about with these kind of climbs, how bad is it to get down after? We seldom see that.

[@jansvoboda5208]

You say your grandma is going to freakout after watching this. My grandma used to take this route to school everyday.

[@spencer.e5767]

My friend and I did a Via ferrata in France in July, 75% of it climbed up along a waterfall; you’ve got a climb straight up whilst water runs down the rocks under your feet, and soaking you at every chance. My fear of heights kicked in but I told myself there was no turning back and I powered through and really enjoyed the climb. It was nothing compared to this, but it has given us an idea to do a via ferrata tour next summer - and my eye is on this one…

[@bbacalhau]

Be careful, this one is extremetely long and the last part is quite sketchy, my arms were destroyed.

[@knizat]

OMG ! What's an incredible experience !

[@Romualdomgn84]

I was sweating all film long! That was insane! Bernardo, I cannot imagine to do the same. The only question I have - who was the first on this trail? Somebody somehow implemented all these metal ropes, installed hooks into rock, made ladders and "sky bridges" made from two metal lines, etc.

[@muhammadkholiqasidik3687]

I'm glad you come back after months

[@tinu4tour]

Hi, I'm 61 years old and I climbed also this nice Via Ferrata, I remember it was very hard, after this I say never again do this but today ...mhmm may be once again? I started also from the camp ground early in the morning when it was dark in september ... finished at 5 just for the last cable care down .... howwwww it was the best what I ever did ! all the best from switzerland

[@penultimaparada]
