the tunnel before the adventure start!was my last day off of this summer season,

I decided to do something different and challengin:

"Fell like a adventure?Litle beats Murren`s vertigo -inducing Via Ferrata/Klettersteig

Sure to get the adrenaline pumping,this high -altitude 2.2km via ferrata is one of Switzerland most astonishing ,wriggling,across breathtakingly steep limestone cliffs to Gimmelwald ."
