1414. The Mürren Via Ferrata Hike, Switzerland
While you’re in the Jungfrau Region to hike that other previously recommended hiking trail, you might as well try this day hike too! It is over 2 kilometers one way, moderately difficult, and has an elevation loss of 300 meters. This is a three-hour hike.
It is one of the shortest hikes in Europe but it is also one of the most exciting on the continent. Those in the know say this hike is actually “part hiking trail” and “part via ferrata.” (A via ferrata is a protected climbing route.) Here you will hike, climb down notably steep ladders, cling to a rugged cliff, cross a suspension bridge, and zip line across a deep ravine.
