Indianer Klettersteig

We built this via ferrata in 2011 as a family project – and have expanded and developed it again and again over the years. It is a project of the heart that has grown steadily. An additional section with an exciting wooden element has been added... We have set up a TWINT at the top of the "Sunnäplätzli". THANK YOU for your donation.

The trail itself is short but varied and offers a lot: a small cave, a ladder, a tyrolienne (rope pulley is available) and an airy, crisp ascent. Especially at the beginning of the season, it is ideal when higher via ferratas are not yet feasible.

Important: The via ferrata is not suitable for beginners. Some passages are clearly exposed and require surefootedness and experience in via ferrata.

The entrance now leads to a small cave, keeping to the left on the rock, over the corner. through this and into the notch- There is now NEW! A variant to avoid the Tyroline! Then it goes over a ladder to a rock head with the Glarus coat of arms and summit book. Then you descend a little to the Tyrolienne. with a little courage and then there is a beautiful view of the mountains... On the other hand, there is an emergency exit.

If you continue walking, first cross to the right and then climb airily to the left up to a rock edge. There it gets steeper, sometimes even slightly overhanging. Even after the summit it is not quite over: A small spreading step and a few exposed meters in the descent are still waiting before the via ferrata ends and you can comfortably descend towards Netstal.
