Start of the Via Ferrata routes on Moléson
Highlight • Climb
🔵 Via Ferrata "Le Pilier" (K4 / C-D)
Character: Sporty, sunny pleasure route over the northeast pillar.
Requirement: Varied with steep steps and ledges. Perfect for experienced via ferrata climbers.
🔴 Via Ferrata "La Face" (K5 / D-E)
Character: extremely exposed and very athletic directly through the wall.
Requirement: Requires a lot of arm strength! At the end, a key section awaits: Either the bypass (K4+) or the strenuous overhang (K5+).
💡 Short Info:
Equipment: Rental directly at the Mittelstation Plan-Francey possible.
Fee: CHF 4.– for the maintenance of the facility.
Descent: Float comfortably back to the Mittelstation with the cable car from the summit.
Important: As it is a north face, only enter in absolutely dry conditions!
