Today we went on the Via Ferratta course in Murren. A blog cannot do it justice. You will need to see Denise's pictures.
They do no even do the beauty the justice.
Generally it's a wire cable that goes all over the outside of a mountain. You put on a harness and clip in and walk the course. I should say Hike. Great views and you are standing on a cliff 2,000 feet above the ground. No issue if you let go and fall...that is if you are worried about dying, unless you do not follow the rules.
The basic rule and only instructions from our guide is : You have two clips that hold you onto the cable. NEVER EVER un-clip both at the same time. That's it....now lets go walk the ledge . BTW, if you do slip and fall into the 2,000 foot abyss, no worries, you have listened to the guide, so you will just fall 5-10 feet and swing into the jagged rocks. Don't slip. We made it it without injury. It was GREAT.
