The Allmenalp Via Ferrata is considered one of the most beautiful and spectacular Via Ferratas in Switzerland.
Whether it is the vertical wall directly after the entrance or the four thundering waterfalls of the Allmibach, the two Nepal bridges (three-rope bridge) or the Tyrolienne, on which you glide over the water, the via ferrata up to Allmenalp really leaves nothing to be desired.
Location: Allmenalp (Kandersteg)
Difficulty: K4/K5 (the normal route is K4, however the variant I took in this video is considered K5)
Time: 1.5h
Altitude Gain: 550m
Iron Footholds: 880
Ladders: 4
Nepal Bridges: 2

i have pretty strong fear of heights and this was my first via ferrata. The View is just mind blowing and the feeling you got after doing that is just amazing, especially with fear of heights

[@NeesyPlaysGuitar]

you don't have a fear of heights. You have survival instincts.

[@iskaaa37]

Hard to believe you have a fear of heights! I do too, and my body just shuts down. Tunnel vision, dizziness, shaking legs, panic attacks. It's hard to believe it would be physically possible for me to endure that for 1.5 h, but I certainly would not feel great afterwards. I did a climb that was too much for me once, and all I could do was chide myself for how stupid I was to even do it. I could have been injured or dead because I was simply not in control of my body and mind anymore.

[@CankadeliK]

@@iskaaa37 i understand youre what you mean and yes it really is hard to believe that i have fear of heights. At the time ive did ths ferrata i was doing alot of work against my fear. At the beginning i was shakin too, but at some time ive just concentraited on going forward. I had some short moments wich i was in panic and thinked about what would happen if i fall down. But ive finished it untill the end. At one point ive had really struggels bcs you just balancing over a steel cable and it going down 300m. But thats the reason im so proud ive finished it and i felt so great. But i would never do it again. it was a once in alifetime expirience for me

Thanks for a great experience. I am making a note about this place for the 2022 vacation. And I don't think it's possible to overestimate the choice of music here. Imagen if it would have been euro-house-techno or hard core metal. This was perfect!

[@larsandersson5974]

Good fun to enjoy some exposure practically risk free.

[@craigtsmith6957]

thanks breath taking - best country in the world.

[@hannamaniak545]

[@danmidkiff5416]

The last shot, where he's sitting on the bench, made me think of Gimmelwald. Switzerland is so beautiful. And, all the way up during the climb, no graffiti anywhere!

[@ZenHikingSwitzerland]

Thank you! Kandersteg is a really beautiful place.

[@jamesbond2889]

What the hell has this to do with graffiti? hahahah graffiti is just as beautiful as the mountains

[@trojanostar]

[@blmjr]

Thank you for this amazing video! I would never get to see this view as I'm terrified of heights. I'm 6' tall and *that* is too high off the ground for me. Very generous of you to take all of us along for the ride.

[@user-xg1tj5tb4j]

🙋

[@kotrynasiskauskaite4995]

Fear of heights is something you can overcome. I'm also 6' and few years ago beat that fear. I used to be scared of looking through 5th floor balcony, but by constantly forcing myself to be in heights and deal with irrational fears of falling/balconies breaking and assuring i'm standing sure footed i beat it. I have done my first via ferrata in the alps in 2021 as well. Don't let that fear set you back, you can also do things like that if you set your mind to!

[@blmjr]

@@kotrynasiskauskaite4995 Thank you for your encouragement and congratulations on your courage!

[@MrHistorian123]

Another video of something I must put on my list of things I absolutely never, ever want to do under any circumstances.

[@vanleen]

Thats the beauty of climbing or doing such via ferratas... overcoming mental borders. Feels like victory, everytime. I started with not being able to go up more then 5m and i still start to shake at certain heights... but exposing myself to my fears, withstanding them or even overcoming them always feels like victory.

[@gustavoandrade4710]

beautifull via ferrata !

[@tullycottage367]

Spectacular! That first traverse on the pins looked scary. What are the brass plaques? Names of sponsors of the route? Another great video and, as expected, your subscribers are really increasing, as deserved by these great hikes and filming. Thanks

[@ZenHikingSwitzerland]

Thank you so much! You guessed it, those are the sponsors who donated to make this Via Ferrata possible.

[@tullycottage367]

[@lorenzogki]

Spettacolare, credevo che solo sulle "Dolomiti"ci fossero fantastiche ferrate

[@daverobertson623]

Ohhh I am so doing that!

[@bensumw]

Great video, brings back memories of when I did this via ferrata back in Sept 2017, definitely one of my most memorable via ferrata having done some in the Dolomites in Cortina and Brenta. The views in Switzerland is just something else. I did Klettersteig Chäligang the day before in the next valley of Adelboden which is a K2 as a warm up to see if I was ready for K4. I then also did the Murren to Gimmelwald via ferrata 2 days after. The route you did with the Swiss flag is a new variation that was added after I did it in Sept 2017 I believe.

[@christheswiss390]

I'm impressed. I couldn't muster the courage if I tried! I get squeemisch and vertigo. Oh well, thank god for videos like this one.

[@onsight2822]

Hi , could you tell me which swiss via ferrata this is ,??? Many thanks

[@bensumw]

@@onsight2822 it's Kandersteg - Allmenalp. Not recommend for beginners. Take a guide if you are a beginner.

Thank you very much , appreciated 👍

[@AlansWoodworking]

Thank you so much for posting this. I climbed the Allmenalp 15 years ago before I got a GoPro and watched your video thinking "Did I really climb this"?
