Sunnighorn Via Ferrata

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

NB: Route is NOT protected the whole way so good footwear and no fear of heights or exposure are required. Various routes back down...

Starting point for the eastern route on the Niesen. The name Wimmis probably derives from the vineyards. The village has almost 2,500 inhabitants.
