my first summer visit to Mürren mountain village
elevation 1650mtsfrom Mürren this amazing view of Breithorn 3782mts
top center
and
Gimmelwald

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 ."
