Hut to hut via ferrata in the Swiss Alps
Kjell is planning a multi-day hut-to-hut tour featuring via ferrata routes in the Swiss Alps with three experienced family members. They have previously completed similar tours in the Dolomites and Austria and are seeking recommendations for suitable climbs and accommodations in Switzerland.
- Consider exploring the Daubenhorn via ferrata near Leukerbad, known as the longest and difficult route.
- Use the Swiss Alpine Club portal for resources on trails and online mountain hut bookings.
- Reach out to local guides, like Brittany Haas from Alpenventures, for tailored advice on via ferrata tours.

Hello,
I’m looking for a mulitple day hut to hut tour with klettersteigs in the Swiss Alps. Doesn’t matter where in Switzerland, I’ve done multiple ones in the Dolomites and Austria already and I want to do one in Switzerland with 3 family members, we are very experienced in klettersteigs/via ferrata.
Thanks in advance,
~Kjell

Hi Kjell and welcome to MySwissAlps!
I haven’t tried it, but I know that the Daubenhorn via ferrata near Leukerbad is the longest, difficult one: http://www.viaferrata-leukerbad.ch/ (Only in German).
You can search for routes here: http://www.outdooractive.com/en/via-ferratas/switzerland/via-ferratas-in-switzerland/1443353/.
And I also recommend you this previous thread: http://www.myswissalps.com/forum/topic/hiking-and-via-ferrata-in-the-swiss-alps.
I hope this helps you to start planning,
Ildiko
Hello,
Yes I know that is the longest and I have a klettersteigführer for the whole country. But I’m really looking for 2+ days tours with klettersteigs, so that I do a klettersteig and sleep in a hut in the area and do another klettersteig the next day. Maybe there are not such tours in Switzerland but I can try asking 🙂 Thanks anyway!

Hi Kjell,
Unfortunately I have no experience in via ferrata tours so can’t recommend a tour company in Switzerland that does this. But if you are interested in planning your own hut-to-hut via ferrata adventure, the Swiss Alpine Club portal would be a good starting point. It has plenty of resources regarding trails and routes and you can even book your mountain huts online: http://www.sac-cas.ch/en/huts-and-tours/sac-route-portal/
Hope that helps!
Regards,
Anna
