Nice, film...really good.....but DEFINITELY...NOT...the most scary Swiss Via Ferrata......❤😂

[@akfasso]

Haha yes… you’re probably right, but it was scary to ME. :) Can’t wait to go back and try out some more!

Hello Ashley! What an incredible trip & epic finish with that via ferrata! Wow!!! Must admit my palms got a little sweaty watching that one! Loved it though!!! Everything about your Swiss adventure has me interested in making the trip one day! I especially like your style of travel. Research but allow for flexibility. I follow your channel & really enjoy the content. So much so that your Iceland trip inspired me to go also. It was one of the best trips I've ever taken. I'm now eager to start planning a Switzerland 🇨🇭 adventure!!! Thank you for sharing your travels & experiences! Looking forward to your next adventure! Best Always....Bob V

I’m sure you don’t know how happy it makes me to hear that some of my travels inspired your own! Iceland was a really special trip for me and is certainly a place I plan to return to. Same goes for Switzerland! I hope you get to experience it someday soon. Thanks for watching!

[@Jeff-bv1ek]

That rock exposure was exhilarating. What an experience!!

[@akfasso]

To say the least! 😬

[@ervinslens]

Oh, this looks a bit dangerous and scary as well! What a presentation my friend! 🔥

[@akfasso]

How the heck did you watch this video before it was posted?! 🙃Thank you! The via ferrata was INSANE and incredible!

[@ervinslens]

@@akfasso I skipped right over the via ferrata part, I'm so attracted to those types of hiking, but I'm afraid to even think about setting foot on those edges.

[@akfasso]

@@ervinslens Well, it seems like you do some pretty cool hikes yourself! I'll have to check out your Austria videos. I think that may be next for me. ;)

[@ervinslens]

@@akfasso Austria is absolutely spectacular 🏔️

[@itouchfiendsdotcom]

all ur 4 vids were amazing, hopefully more to come

[@akfasso]

Thanks! That’s the end of the Switzerland series, but definitely more adventures on the horizon. :) Appreciate you watching!

I’m surprised to see that your guide didn’t even learn to use the karabiners properly. You clip in one from the front of the cable and one from the back, so the gates oppose each other. This minimizes the risks of opening them both when you grab them in case of a slip or fall.

[@akfasso]

I’ve learned about this since arriving home. I do recall him showing this to someone else in our group midway through the experience, but I was just out of earshot, so I kept doing it the way that you see in the video. Now I know better for next time!

[@lauraezell7723]

What a fun trip you had. Hope you can return there again!

[@sinista6704]

This is DEFINITELY on my bucket list of things to do! 1)Hong Kong for a second time lol then on Chongqing, Wuhan, Shanghai, and Guangdong to scale the ladder of Danxia Mountain in January. 2) Tokyo -Tour the city by way of Go Kart while dressed as a character from Mario Kart lol and bungee jump in Gifu in March. 3)Switzerland- Via Ferrata in Murren in July. I can not wait!!!!

[@akfasso]

Excited for you! Those all sound like incredible experiences.

[@sinista6704]

@@akfassothank you!

[@lekmirshametaj7684]

Horrifying and safe at the same time. Pure adrenaline. I have try it in Peje, Kosovo. Congrats...

[@luisventura8912]

Thank you for sharing this important tips, I am planning to the via Ferrata hike this summer July or August 2025. Would the rental stores include a parachute just in case . I am positive as long as you fallow instructions. I am 5f 12 inches and 230 pounds. Definitely need to lose some weight. Thanks 🙏

[@akfasso]

You should not need a parachute if you are clipped in correctly on the via ferrata. You can, however, book a paragliding adventure in that area if you prefer to fly through that valley.

Hi. I will visit Murren this june and it is solo travel. I am thinking about this via ferrata and worried it might be dangerous. Hiring a guide is much expensive compared to just rent the equipment. Therefore, do you think it is doable without the guide for first timer? And, as for walking on tightrope, it looks very challenging. is it too difficult for first timer?

[@akfasso]

Hi there! This is a dangerous via ferrata. Have you done a via ferrata before anywhere else? Do you hike/climb regularly? I think the answer should be determined by your skillset. It is certainly possible to do this without a guide, but I would strongly discourage that if this is a new experience for you. The tightrope was one of the easiest parts. With all of that being said, I am SO glad I did the tour. Now that I’ve done the experience once with a guide, I would feel confident going back solo. (Also important to note: you can not do the zipline portion of this without a guide)

[@Mrxavierlai]

@@akfasso Noted. Your sharing is very helpful. Thanks a lot

[@tonyw8001]

Each to their own but having your BNB that far away is just silly

[@akfasso]

The walk up in the dark certainly was no fun, but in truth, it was very close to the Stechelberg cable car which I used to get up to Mürren. And, I liked the experience of staying on a working farm.
