The Daubenhorn via ferrata is the longest in Switzerland, graded K5 (extremely difficult). It is made of 2,000 metres of steel cable, 215 metres of ladder and a couple of steel cable bridges.
It took me more than 4 hours to complete and was really demanding. After reaching the top, the way down leads across a snowfield and then through the scenic Lämmerenboden Valley back to Gemmi.

what is the meaning of "solo climb" in context of via ferrata? Withouth protection?
Hi, I feel some people are a bit confused about the term "solo" in reference to climbing.
Very simply put:
"Free Solo" = no ropes, no protection
"Free Climb" = ropes, no additional climbing aiders
"Solo Climb" = alone, ropes and gear are allowed
@@ZenHikingSwitzerland understood
@@ZenHikingSwitzerland you are confusing people, Free climbing is a form of rock climbing in which the climber may use climbing equipment such as ropes and other means of climbing protection
@@cloudmak111 He said "ropes, no additional climbing aiders" which is correct
@@JohnSmith-uk7gy the whole route is an aider literally he's wearing work gloves rock climbers do not wear gloves your hands would slip as a climber I just think the rung at the start that's bent very worrying
It looks very safe and at the same time terrifying.
As an ex climber, I can say that they are totally safe, but the major safety is in both confidence and focus.
A balance of focus with no stress is the best thing.
An amazing way to balance yourself
Thank you for taking me on this journey. I couldnt do this in the real world , unfortunately because of illness and also a fear of heights-but you made it possible me so a BIG thanks to you. Queens NY.
I really admire those people who installed the wire and steps on the cliffs. A scary job i wouldn`t do if you paid me a million dollars. Those guys or girls are the true heroes.
It's most likely done by experienced trad climbers with gear placements (safety equipment in the rock) and is quite safe!
These are the most daring heroes of our time!
Exactly why are they "heroes"?
@@walterdraper6630 today everyone kinda hero or something😂
@@walterdraper6630 It's simple: A villain would risk your life so he can have fun. A hero would risk his own life so you can have fun. Those who installed this via ferrata risked their lives so you can have fun. And they don't even make a profit out of it (they are a non-profit organization).
It's not easy to climb those mountains with some heavy equipment like a rotary hammer drill and an engine generator, to drill all those holes, to fix rungs and huge ladders, while hanging over the void. Plus, they thoroughly check the fixtures on a regular basis, to make sure that it stays safe over time.
Wow! This is a real spectacular ferrata. Very nice filmed and also a lot of respect for the builders.
Yeah!
Fantastic climb!!!
Got to hand it to those who placed the cables, ladders and pegs though… mind blowing!!!

Amazing, thank you for filming and posting. Felt the urge to tap the sign to thank the Swiss, glad you did too :)
I found it to be impossible not to tap the sign.
@@ZenHikingSwitzerland 👏👏👏👏👏👏💗💗🇧🇷🇧🇷
Incredible... All the work that went into that route, the safety lines, ladders, etc.. Thanks for sharing!
several sphincters were clenching just watching this.... I'm scared of heights and I kinda felt dizzy at certain points even though I wasn't there.
Palms sweating watching this. But the visuals, OMG.
My also why this happened
Truly sublime. Even watching your video coverage creates the thrill, exhilaration and challenge if your climbing achievements. Thanks so much for the additional efforts to create this professional video during the climb. 🙏
Absolut genial. Kommt auf die bucket list. Super video. Alleine? Wahnsinn
Watched this twice. Incredible, so inspiring, and also makes my heart race just watching it!! Great video, well done, thank you :)
Thanks, I appreciate it!
The most terrifying "easy climb" I've ever seen. Even with the cables and iron it's still a relatively big accomplishment. Congrats!
Easy climb? Not so many people can do this on Earth. :-D
I guess it is a lot of power and endurance!
.
@@fpeter01 it is quite easy though. Scary and long, yes. But physically every generally fit person could do this.
@@MisterK9739 No they can’t, read the description. It was very demanding for this guy and he’s a professional climber
@@advik8444 you can literally rest anywhere by just sitting in your harness. There is no part that requires crazy technique or strength.
Again, it is long, it is high, and it is taxing. But you can take as long as you want and you will finish
Brother you have a lion's heart....keep going may god be with you
what a beautiful climb, and what stunning imagery. this is going on my project list for next year!
Hats off to the people that installed all the cables , ladders , bars and hand grips.
Having climbed many Swiss, Austrian, and Italian Alps during my youthful days, we never had the added safety measures of ladders, cables, and steel handles and foot holds. Hats off for those huge improvements, and drone footage as well!
@@davewilson9139 👍🏼
That was amazing. Thank you for filming this.
Amazing - I need to watch this a couple more times - but after my heart rate comes down from the “skyrocket” zone - thank you so much for posting this , so friggin cool
Thank you! luckily it was a very enjoyable climb for me, at least most of it.
I've scrambled some of the longest and narrowest ridges on mainland Britain, without ropes or protection . . . And I felt my palms getting sweaty watching that 😅
This is amazing for along time have wanted to do this. From time to time I have depression but I feel experiencing something like this would be life changing. Would love to come along with you on your next climb. This is great to watch. Thanks for your video..
Congratulations my friend, the climb is a true marvel but the work of recording and editing it is also very good to show us all the effort that must be made to overcome this impressive route. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! Great video. We did the ferrata, but so far nothing can show the heights and difficulty as you have captured!
Good lord! I froze up and puckered just watching this...
OUTSTANDING SIR!
I subscribe. . This is how I respect you .. stay strong brother
I was mesmerized by your bold adventure. The scarry part was the path you took a vertical climb and I felt weak kneed. More than HATS OFF TO YOUR COURAGE AND SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE. I AM WONDERING HOW THE PATH WITH THE ROPE (metallic cable) AND LADDERS WERE MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THE HOW YOU SET UP THE CROSS. I WOULD RATHER HAVE A HELICOPTER DROP ME REAL GENTLY ON A FLAT PLACE BY THE CROSS 😀😃. THE SURROUNDINGS ARE WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL. WATER STREAMS MADE ME FEEL THIRSTY - PURE AND MINERALIZED. TAKE CARE.
Holly wow 😮...All respect..this was breath taking...I seriously didn't breath all film... so fearless..thank you so much for all hard work and taking us with you.. Lucy
Thank you for sharing. Very well filmed giving a real feeling of the challenge, difficulty and beauty of this climb 🧗♀️
As a lover of the hiking, and also as a novice climber, I found this video absolutely stunning.
👏👏👏👏💗💗🇧🇷🇧🇷
Great video and wonderful place. Thanks!👍
Very impressive and the imagery is breathtaking!
These landscapes are so beautiful! I really wish that someday i lose my fear of heights completely and make a climb like that
That was unreal to watch, amazing!
What was that noise in the cave area? Stunning scenery🏞😀🤘
Thanks! It was rockfall and a bird. (Alpine chough)
@@ZenHikingSwitzerland
Thank goodness no eagle defends its eyrie ...😰
Wow and all my respect! What a spectacular ferrata. Love your videos ❤
Nice authentic video. Really good job ! :)
My guy writes “This is Sketchy”. SIR! The entire thing looked sketchy…all of it!…Mad respect to you for doing this. As a fellow Swiss, it is amazing to see my beautiful homeland from these heights. It is truly one of the most magnificent places on earth. Thank you for showing us this!
It's an amazing challenge, a beautiful video!
Holy moly😱😱 i pissed in my pants twice 😂😂😂😂CHAPEAU ❗❗👏👏This one is a serious track,compliments for your achievement,specially because you done it ALONE and with a very good timing, 4 hrs.Thank you for sharing and let us "taste" what it really feels like to get up there.👍👍Great video editing , the Path planer was a nice touch..
Very nice! And the drone footage! Delicious.
Молодец ты чемпион
Freaking amazing, plus the landscape is stunning 👏💯
I soled this in early August. Staggeringly long, exposed beyond belief and a wonderful project to build and then upgrade over the decades by Guides.
Splendid! Awesome! Explicit! Beautiful!
How is this possible? It's scary to watch and it's not clear how you do it. I express my admiration for you. The video is great, thanks.
my body is screaming NO NO NO just watching, im terrified of heights
Another amazing video. Your nerves are as tough as that steel cable.
Outstanding video. Highly enjoyable. Thanx
Awesome! Thanks for filming it so I can enjoy the climb too. I would climb it myself, but I got severe dehydration due to palm sweating just watching you do it.
🤓🤓🤓🇧🇷🇧🇷
Incredible! The sense of presence was alive and it was even a little scary. Thanks for the great video.
wow 😍🏔 I love the music too. good luck on your next adventures!
Thank you!
Good Job 💪🏽 and the landscape on top worth the climb 😁
Great vista and an amazing route! I’d love to do it. Great filming 👌
Thank you, dear Paul the Apostate :-)
Remarkable video and very nice adventure. I would love to live in switzerland and have those mountains in my backyard. I’m an amateur rock climber, but if it existed Via Ferrata in Portugal I will do it.
Suggest it! It's a great 💡 idea!!
Brutal! I love mountains but I'm terrified of heights. So this is great for me! Thank you!
What a wonderful video ! What an inspiaration! I have no doubts now I am coming to switzerland to do via ferrata.
Thank you! Hope you can make it to Switzerland soon.
Absolutely magnificent. But all I could think about was, how did they build this?
All I could think about was who maintains it! 🙏😭
I would start from the top by letting the material as well as electricity down.
Incredible, unthinkable
❤greetings from Swiss
Dude, this is amazing! Well done!
Unbelievable. Every time you just blow my mind hahaha. I am so sweaty after watching this from how nervous that made me 😂
Thanks man! I got some sweaty palms even while editing haha
Ditto!!
Same same but different 🤟
아마도 지형적인 이유가 있겠지만, 전통적이지 않은, 이런 종류의 등반도 상당히 흥미롭습니다.
게다가 아름다운 스위스의 자연 경관도 아주 감동적으로 멋집니다.
정성스럽게 제작한 소중한 영상, 감사히 잘 감상했습니다 ^^
getting the ladders up there must have been insane. Amazing what humans are capable of
Thanks for the work you do! I watched this before going to bed and I sweat so much, my slippers and pajamas were soaking wet, haha! You must have great athleticism.
Wow! Mindblowing...
A Lot of Zen is required!!
What an amazing climb, the way the route seemed a bit confusing near the caves must have been a bit of a shock.
You even carried a drone!
Great quality video!
Amazing!! Thank you for this great video. :-)
This needs to be completed. Just wow. Very scary
this looks awesome man !! I wish I knew about this when I was in Switzerland. keep up the good content
Even though it's a "via ferrata" with cables, steps and protection, unless you're already a good climber, this is a challenging climb because of the altitude gain and the solitude. If you're interested, I would strongly suggest using the services of a guide.
Makes Crawlers Ledge in Kalalau look like a four lane highway. But here there's pro.
Unbelievable I watched on you tube guys climbing the Matterhorn the other day no ropes and just a massive drop I could not believe it amazing video mate ❤
Looks very nice, but I love the landscape in the descent the most! Beutiful!
the drone footage overall but especially of the last ladder you climbed looked amazing!!! well done and keep safe!
👊👊👊🇧🇷🇧🇷
excellent drone shots and the route mapping is very useful, the music is so skechty though lol, I was wondering if I dare to climb this one day, the Mürren one already scared the shit out of me haha
How honorable of the Swiss to give a person an opportunity for a one and only experience like that. What a contribution to ones life, we will owe the Swiss forever.
Super Video.
The small town downthere is Leukerbad where i lived about 15 Years. Enjoy the Gemmiwall, the Gemmipass with Daubenlake and wonderful Nature.
How do you do it? It's unreal!
Bellissima via ferrata, complimenti, bravo! Ottime anche le riprese, panorami mozzafiato, forse un po' lungo il montaggio, ma capisco che era lunga anche la via😄 Discesa invece per via normale? Ciao, e ancora bravo!
Total VR! AMAZING, SIR!🙏🙏🙏
Super Leistung, sehr beeindruckende Bilder, wunderschöne Natur und sehr atmosphärisch + beseelte Musik.. danke dafür!
I wish I could do something like that, but I can hardly watch the video without getting nervous.... He makes it look so easy..
You’ve inspired me to go and walk that walk. 👏🏻
So did me. Thats why I did this ferrata week ago. Best one.
I don't have any experience in rock climbing. However, this looks extremely challenging, to say the least, and also very fulfilling. The danger is not eliminated but there is a sense of safety obviously. Very physically demanding
Amazing you are very strong!!! Mentally and physically... Bravo!!!
Thanks for upload ....that was some via!
Superb photography and superb editing and music choice. You obviously have great taste and talents.
Wow! Fabulous! I did several of the Via Ferrata routes in the Dolomites a long time ago, but this is even better, with a lot more protection than I remember. Its when you come up to Ein Krappenplatz, where Spring rockfalls have dashed away the ladders or cable, and you REALLY need your climbing skills to get up / past. I couldn't do that these days - respect.
Thanks! Well that sounds sketchy, glad I didn't have to go through what you experienced!
Wow! Amazing climb and video!
Thank you for sharing this video. I've been recovering for over two years from a brain injury I sustained during karate practice. I'm in my mid 20s but I can barely stand long enough to do the dishes. I've been really struggling mentally lately. Watching videos like this really make me miss what I was able to do. However, it's also very inspiring and helps me see why it's worth to keep on fighting in my recovery. I will keep trying. Just the magnificence of the Alps. I don't know whether or not I'll reach being able to ascend a mountain again, but it's worth knowing what's out there and that it's worth keeping up the fight.
Wow, this looks really fun and to do. Maybe I'll give it a shot it in 10 odd years, but I'm super afraid of heights and still need to get over that fear. Greetings from Austria 😊
Incrível! Fiquei zonzo só de assistir; eu não daria conta de subir nem 40 metros....
Great video ! Congrats and thank you.
My palms are stinging watching this. Amazing.
Excellent video showing in details your route...a stupid question: who is placing these ropes and steel bases in order this route to be accomplisable?
Some very ballsy people established the route in 1998, and since then revise the cables annually before opening up in spring. The work is done by rock climbers as far as I know.
Within the already quite ballsey climbing/mountaineering community, there's an even ballsier sub group of often unsung legends that put up first ascents, clean and equip new lines, maintain them and write the guide books. Its a small neiche of people, all super committed to their passion
Amazing! I wish I didn't have a fear of heights so I could do some hikes I fear in the U. S.
My palms start sweatin just watching this....
Great video....wow climbing
This is hands down the greatest cinematic masterpiece I have seen in quite some time. The raw physical ability to be able to climb up and down a face like that is amazing itself but being able to film it like that with the drone and everything, is incredible. Keep up the good work.
Wow, thank you!
especially "solo"
Wow......what a climb.Absolute stunning Scenery.So love the drone shots.😎👍
Thank you so much for this video. I really enjoyed it.
Foarte frumos ,interesant .
