Via Ferrata Jegihorn (near Saas-Grund)

The Jegihorn Via Ferrata, located just outside Saas-Fee near Saas-Grund (accessible via Kreuzboden/Hohsaas lifts), is one of the highest and most spectacular via ferratas in the Alps. Reaching an altitude of 3,200 meters, it offers four different routes of varying difficulty (K2-K5), providing thrilling vertical experiences with incredible panoramic views of over 17 4,000-meter peaks. The routes are well-equipped with steel cables, ladders, and pegs. It requires good physical condition, a head for heights, and appropriate safety equipment (harness, helmet, via ferrata set), which can be rented locally. A mountain guide is recommended for less experienced climbers. Open typically from late June to early October, weather permitting.
