Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've done the ones around Engelberg including the Fürenwand - that was bloody scary!

I've got the "Via Ferrata Switzerland" book from Iris Kürschner and the Mürren Klettersteig isn't mentioned, it appears this only opened this year?
I'd agree with the Times description on the level of challange: if you're OK doing walking/hiking in the hills, you'd probably be fine on this Via Ferrata (and take a guide if it's your first time).
The Italian Dolomites are the home of Via Ferrata, so if you get a taste for it, head there for a week.

and I'm told theres some pretty tough routes in Abondance, complete with overhangs ...
our boys were buzzed by a Lammergeier with a 10ft wingspan doing the Jalouvre in Grand Bornand summer 2007
(although not sure if this is snowsport section?)

red 27, I don't think it's the same Chris Craggs!
hbunny is right though if you want to do it properly head to the Dolomites, spent 5 weeks there in 2005 climbing, mountaineering and doing VFs, amazing place.

Swirly, sure it is... that Chris Craggs? He may have been up and down a few boulders in't Peak(s) but what has the soft-southern-sandstone booger ever none on snow?
