Mittaghorn via ferrata

The Alpin Express cable car carries you from Saas-Fee to the intermediate station of Morenia, about one-and-a-half hours’ walk from the start of the via ferrata. After a short section of path marked white-red-white, you reach an alpine trail marked white-blue-white. A flagpole then shows the beginning of the north-west ridge of the summit of the Mittaghorn. The subsequent climb brings you to an altitude of 2,800 m. The via ferrata leads over the rocks along the ridge as far as the summit of the Mittaghorn. For the descent, the trail takes you at first to the right, along the ridge, before a steeper descent towards the east. Follow the cairns down. After this steep descent, you reach the trail marked white-red-white leading to Plattjen. From here, you can take the gondola back down to Saas-Fee or hike down to Saas-Fee or Saas-Almagell.
