Located above the town of Leukerbad, the Daubenhorn is a mountain in the Bernese Alps known for having the longest Via Ferrata in Switzerland[1] built into its Southeast rock face which allows access to the summit.
This via ferrata is considered to be extremely difficult (ED) and requires very good fitness to make the 6 hour climb to the summit from the base of the Via Ferrata at 2350 m.[2] In addition, it is also possible to reach the summit by trekking a circuitous route starting from Gemmi Pass.
