Simmeflueh via ferrata - Wimmis

The foremost head of the Simmenfluh is called Sunnehörnli. And although the summit is only 1397 m high, the view over the entire Thun lake region is magnificent. Those who look closely will discover plenty of old iron on the well-marked route. The path was already built in 1911 when protective structures had to be erected and reforested after the great Simmenfluh fire. Since the cross-adorned Sunnehörnli found its way into various alpine and via ferrata publications a few years ago, even after new wire ropes and climbing rungs were installed, the ascent has almost become a trendy route. This, however, is completely justified, as the route follows a magnificent line through the steep rock face. A via ferrata, but an easy one: where necessary, you clip yourself into the fixed rope with a carabiner. In addition, the route is often possible very early in the year due to its southern exposure and low elevation. The descent is through the forest on the marked hiking trail.
