    Blue - white - via ferrata
    The via ferrata has ropes and iron elements in the wall.
    The Nagelfluh is very handy.
    Sure-footedness and a head for heights are essential.

      The Speer via ferrata is rated B/C. It leads to the highest conglomerate or Nagelfluh mountain in Europe, the Speer. From the viewing platform there, you have a fantastic panoramic view. However, it's also quite crowded here, as an easy hiking trail leads up from the southeast.

      We found the via ferrata easier than advertised, and many Swiss climb it without safety equipment, which is also quite doable. Further information can be found here: app.bergsteigen.com/touren/klettersteig/speer-kletterweg. You'll also find a corresponding topo map there.
