  • Day 2 Via ferrata + mountain panorama

    August 12, 2017 in Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 2 °C

    Our substitute for the Weissmies was a via ferrata (Klettersteig) in the Fee gorge (Fee-Schlucht). We got up at 7 AM and had a great breakfast. After that we took the bus to Saas-Fee and met our guide Beat. The via ferrata was top, some ziplines, ladders and suspension bridges included, really diversified. At the end there was an abseiling into the gorge which was really cool. After the tour we decided to hike up to the middle station (Kreuzboden) of the cable car on the way up to the Weissmies at around 2400m. The weather was getting better and better, the sun was shining and it was quite warm (9 degrees at Kreuzboden, 1 degree at Hohsaas). We took the cable car up to Hohsaas at around 3200m, the highest point you can reach below the Weissmies. The panorama up there is just insane and awesome. From this point one can see 18 mountains over 4000m. We have enjoyed the weather and nature in the snow there for some time and regretted again that we were not able to reach our goal above 4000m which looked so close. Then we went down to Saas-Grund via cable car. We enjoyed the sun and after it went down we prepared ourselves to have dinner. After dinner we went back to our room, listened to music and finally fell into our beds.Read more
