The east ridge of the via ferrata route proceeds from the access point to the summit and is A/B difficulty level throughout. This means that this section is great for all those who are new to via ferrata, or for those who have some initial experience of via ferrata too, meeting all their requirements.
Access point:
To save a few metres of climbing, take the Steffisalp Express up to the top. From the mountain station the route proceeds immediately left, continually climbing up to Wartherhornsattel (a climb of around 45 minutes). From here, gear up appropriately, since the via ferrata now starts.
Descent:
From the summit, the descent now proceeds back down again via the standard route on the south side of the Karhorn massif. You then get back to the starting point, the "Wartherhornsattel". Those who want to can tackle the summit of the Wartherhorn too, before the route then proceeds via the ascent back to the Steffisalp Express mountain station.
