Speer via ferrata

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The hands are used vigorously on the climbing path to the spear, it is a change between very steep (vertical) and less steep passages. There are also some places where the path is not secured with a rope and you have to search for the handles yourself on the Nagelfluh rock (however, these areas should not be underestimated!). In between there are also some gentler places and places to take a break and enjoy the wonderful view.

A head for heights is of course compulsory for such a path, otherwise this exposed scrambling path is a pain and in the wet this path is absolutely not to be underestimated and not recommended.

For me it was the first experience in the direction of the via ferrata, it took a bit of courage, was demanding and in some places I had to first see how I could get there best, but it went well and it was great.

Speer Summit

Highlight • Summit

The Speer, one of the striking mountains at the end of the Lint plain, is worth climbing as an alpine destination. The view is really impressive, as is the ascent of easy paths or via ferrata for those with experience in alpine skiing.
