The weather seems rather wet, but after looking at the rain radar, a dry spell of at least three hours seems to be available to us. Should be enough for the La Resgia via ferrata in Pontresina.
The rock is still wet from earlier rainfall. This requires some extra care, especially on parts of the via ferrata that are less steep,...

If you're only about via ferrata, then the ca. 1500m of ascent involved in doing the Baltschieder Klettersteig is probably too much for you. However, integrate the via ferrata into a two-day adventure with an overnight stay at the Wiwannihütte and you're in for a treat.
Day 1

From Lauterbrunnen, we follow the hiking path that climbs the cliffs on the west side of the valley in the direction of Mürren. The path stays in the forrest (where we get to observe some chamois) and away from the cliffs, so the views are limited to the occasional glimpse of Eiger and Mönch through the trees. Those glimpses are...

The Hexensteig is a fun and somewhat mysterious via ferrata above Chilcherberge, which is reachable by an exiting ride in a small cable car from Silenen (limited free parking at the cable car, more parking near the church).
From the top station, we hike uphill in the direction of the Seewli, past an interesting shelter full of...
