// ABOUT THIS VIDEO //
- WHAT IS A VIA FERRATA?
It’s a recreational sport using fixed cables and ladders and rungs to traverse a mountain or cliff. But the ultimate via ferrata challenge was back during WWI when armies created via ferrata routes to cross mountains (instead of going through the valley where the enemy was surely waiting).
- MÜRREN VIA FERRATA WALKTHROUGH.
Watch now to get a glimpse of the four main elements in this beginner-friendly via ferrata. The Mürren via ferrata highlights include a tightrope over a waterfall, a zipline, and a suspension bridge!
- SHOULD I USE A MÜRREN VIA FERRATA GUIDE?
If you’re like us and you’ve never done a via ferrata before, we recommend going with a guide. They help secure your via ferrata gear and equipment, teach you how to navigate the course, and guide you along every step of the way. We recommend @Outdoor, the top adventure provider in the Jungfrau Region, for an epic via ferrata experience!
- MÜRREN VIA FERRATA TIPS AND TRICKS.
We’re no experts, but stick around to the end of this video to hear our advice and impressions on topics like guides, gloves, apparel, and more!
After you watch this via ferrata adventure, hop on over to our blog to learn how you can plan an experience like this for yourself!

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

Your trip is so close! Are you planning on doing this when you're here?

@CaitlinConCuore Год назад

I so wanted to do this when I went there in 2019! Unfortunately we didn’t know we needed to plan better, so we arrived shortly before the last self guided allowed time, and the gal at the Intersport disapprovingly indicated we could not go because our sneakers were not good enough, and we wouldn’t have time to rent boots and get going in time 😣 It was awesome seeing your footage all this time later-thanks for sharing! ❤ This is on my list for an eventual return trip 😊

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

We hope you get to come back and try this again one day! At least the salespeople at the Intersport were honest with you about needing better shoes. I’m grateful they wanted to keep you safe!!

@CaitlinConCuore Год назад

@@AplinsintheAlps I agree, especially after seeing your video! I just wish we’d known more ahead of time. We had been told it was beginner level and self guided, so we thought we were good to just show up as we were!

@jenshoefer7944 10 месяцев назад

@@CaitlinConCuoreif you don't have much ferrata experience, approach shoes if not solid B/C hiking boots are a must, if experienced, trailrunners might do, although not a brilliant choice on ferratas with plenty iron steps and ladders...sneakers are an absolute no go! They don't provide any grip from a profile and rubber compound perspective and the sole is way too soft 🤷‍♂️

@theschutsorchard Год назад

We did this (on our own) in October 2022. Sadly the zip line wasn't available, but we totally enjoyed the rest of the hike. I remember my knees getting weak on the cliffside section. It was probably my favorite section, but also made me the most nervous. Great video! We'd totally do this again!!

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

How cool that you’ve done this too!! 🤩 You’re right, the zip line is only open for group tours. Otherwise there is another tightrope to detour around it. Looking back, we were more nervous than we needed to be on that cliff section. Now we want to go back and try again with more confidence!

@user-xp5db6oc8u Год назад

im about to do it in a month, did u guy rent the harness and gloves in intersport murren? if so, did they explain how to put it or maybe they put it on u? lastly, how do u skip the zipline part if u dont have a guide? thanks a lot!

@theschutsorchard Год назад

@@user-xp5db6oc8u - Not sure if this question was for us, but we did rent from Intersport. It's right next to the trail head, so it's very convenient. We didn't need assistance on putting the gear on, but the staff is friendly and helpful. If you've never done a trail with this kind of risk involved, a trail guide would be a great way to learn. :D However, if you decide to do this hike without a guide, you can bypass the zipline at a fork in the trail.

@sabineedelmann6531 Год назад

My kids are very excited to do this, so it's on our 1 day itinerary of Mürren. I bought your 1 day Mürren travel guide and will recommend it to everyone interested. It's awesome. While they do Via Ferrata ,I will follow some of your options on the guide. Question: We arrive with the Swiss Travel Pass in Lauterbrunnen. Are most of the cable cars, etc from there 50% for us? Thanks for clarifying!!😊

@blahblah8372 Год назад

The website mentions they don't rent outngear when it rains/when wet. Do they make an exception when using a guide? Or maybe they're chill about it? Thx! Doing this soon!

@AlansWoodworking Год назад

Great video guys! Try the Allmenalp next. It's harder, but man, what a buzz!

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

Oooo thanks for the suggestion! We will add it to our map as an intermediate via ferrata to try later 😊

@MrGreatplum 3 месяца назад

What a great video (thank goodness your GoPro batteries lasted 😜) I don’t think I could ever do that - mostly for the exposed cliff section - the zip wire looks great though! I’m sure I’ve seen this from the Gimmelwald - Stetchelberg cable car?

@AplinsintheAlps 2 месяца назад

You sure have!! The suspension bridge at the end is visible from the cable car.

@ajteel7838 Год назад

Thank you for all your videos! :) I will be going to Switzerland in a few weeks and have been binge watching them 😅 My partner and I have prior rock climbing experience and also have done via ferrata like cave explorations in the past so we are considering going without a guide to save some money. You mentioned that you need a guide to do the zipline, is there an alternative way around if you have no guide? Thanks! :)

@davidm5963 Год назад

There is an alternative path that has a tightrope to walk across. Basically like the tightrope they show in this video but a bit longer

@BootyWarrior80892 Год назад

I saw a video a few days of another hiker who was experienced doing this and just watching it made my heart pound so bad i had to stop watching but now watching you guys do this makes me want to do it when I visit next month. Thank you for this great video Also what type of shoes would you guys recommend for this specific activity? And did you guys use a go pro while climbing across the cliff?

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

This is a great beginner friendly via ferrata! You will definitely want some solid hiking shoes. We both like trail running shoes (basically a hiking boot without the ankle). Solomon is a good brand if you need a suggestion! And yep, we used a GoPro on Brett’s helmet and Jana used her phone (when we were on solid ground and it was safe to pull out of my pocket, haha)

@tycreighton3032 3 месяца назад

What model camera did you use and what size battery? How long would the camera run if it was on the entire time?

@AplinsintheAlps 2 месяца назад

We filmed with a GoPro. And it wasn't on the whole time but we did need to swap batteries once or twice.

@nammeelee5251 Год назад

Hi! We are doing this on June 8. The guide told us zip line might not be available. Do you know anything about that?

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

Nope, no idea! Maybe it’s having maintenance done? I’d trust your guide to know what’s going on.

@BigD4562 Год назад

It's a cool hike but more hiking than climbling. Very fun beginner trail that even kids can do.

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

Absolutely! That’s why it’s probably so beginner friendly 🙂

@Matt13307 8 месяцев назад

Is there a way to complete the route without doing the zipline? watching other videos, I havent seen this zipline part before. Is it new?

@AplinsintheAlps 8 месяцев назад

You can only do the zipline if you go with a guide, so the other videos were probably people who went on their own. There's a way to bypass the zipline if you go without a guide. Hope that helps!

@moosa6764 Год назад

great video 😍. Can you raise the resolution to 4k

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

Unfortunately we probably won’t be able to film in 4K. The footage files are too large and take up more space that we can manage and slow down our editing software. But maybe one day we can upgrade! 👍

@hartsteve61 Год назад

wondering if it's possible to meet a family member who is doing this so we can see them coming off the bridge, is there a path from Gimmelwald to the bridge?

Hmmm I’m actually not sure. It’s a one-way trail and I don’t know if there is a viewing place. I’ll have to look that up!
