Route description Read more Show less The Partnunblick via ferrata offers a demanding K4-5 outing above St. Antönien, starting just above the easier family via ferrata of the same name. It tackles vertical and occasionally slightly overhanging rock, with constant views to the Schijenflue and Sulzfluh peaks. Climbers are treated to a striking bird's-eye view down onto the turquoise Partnunsee. The route finishes near the Austrian border, where a mountain trail continues directly to the summit of the Sulzfluh, making it a great complement to the classic Sulzfluh via ferrata.
