The mammoth via ferrata Schweifinen requires skill, a head for heights and surefootedness.
Routes B and C are particularly suitable for experienced via ferrata climbers.
K4 (difficult):
"Even on exposed or steep passages there is only a wire rope belay (arm strength required). Artificial holds such as hooks or iron steps only in the most difficult places. An exception are the sport via ferratas "à la française", which are usually far more elaborately secured, but also have maximum exposed passages." (Source: SAC Klettersteigskala)
