Where the torrent becomes a companion

Gargellen Via ferrata routes offer an appealing way to tackle even challenging rock faces. The potential these routes hold for mountain enthusiasts was quickly recognized. Since then, they have literally sprung up like mushrooms from the rock. The Röbi and Rongg via ferratas in Gargellen offer a special opportunity to explore the world of mountaineering. They captivate visitors above all with their scenic beauty. The spray of the water, reflecting a thousand colors in the sunlight, the rugged rock, and the untouched nature: these are the hallmarks of these via ferratas. Even children can gain their first experiences here.

The relatively short approach is located on the right as you enter the village, heading into the valley. It’s advisable to put on your gear at a flat spot before the start, as the path becomes narrow and rocky—but beautiful—after that. The waterfall alone, which accompanies climbers all the way to the exit, makes for a stunning experience. On hot days, it also provides a pleasant coolness. The footholds are spaced at manageable intervals. Nevertheless, caution is advised, as they can be damp and therefore slippery at any time. The water level of the stream should also be monitored. It can rise quite rapidly after a thunderstorm.

Those with experience can get through relatively quickly, but it’s worth pausing now and then. On the descent, the Rongg via ferrata beckons—also short, also featuring a waterfall, and additionally a rope bridge that can easily be bypassed but doesn’t require too much courage to cross. There are other challenges out there. Still, Röbi and Rongg are always worth a visit.
