Mittaghorn, Alpine summit in Valais, Switzerland

The Mittaghorn rises to 3143 meters in elevation, featuring steep rock faces and a north-west ridge that extends toward the surrounding mountain ranges.

The development of climbing routes on Mittaghorn during the late 19th century marked the beginning of mountaineering activities in the Saas-Fee region.

The mountain influences local Swiss customs through traditional alpine farming practices and yearly festivals celebrating mountain life in the surrounding valleys.

Climbers reach the starting point by taking the Alpin Express cable car from Saas-Fee to Morenia station before following marked trails to the via ferrata.

The via ferrata route stretches 10.11 kilometers across the mountain face, combining climbing sections with walking paths for a complete alpine experience.
