"You can easily climb the Daubenhorn from the top go the Gemmi Pass via the normal route which is a T3 hike involving a small glacier crossing and a short scramble at the top.
However by far the most exciting and rewarding route is via the Via Ferrata or the Daubenhorn Klettersteig (in German). It is a very difficult Klettersteig and demands endurance as well as experience and of course proper Via Ferrata equipment.
You can reach the start from the top of the Gemmi by descending a bit or you can walk up from Leukerbad. It is well marked. Allow 8 hours for the whole route including the descent down the normal route of the Daubenhorn. Watch the weather carefully as well.
We had great weather and took the whole day over it with lots of photo stops and a picnic on the top. We took the Gemmi lift and walked down to the traverse out under the face. It was spectacular the whole way and in September not too busy. The first section leads up to the top of the Swiss flag which you can see from far below in Leukerbad. This is a good picnic and rest spot and from here the proper vertical via ferrata climbing starts. There is an opt out route here which leads back down to the valley as well ..." — chrispatient • Sep 15, 2018

"Started the half traverse of Breithorn from the klein Matterhorn cable car at 8.15 and reached the peak at 11.15 and came back to the cable car at 12.15. At the ridge poor visibility and wind speed up to 70 kmh. Climbed with a guide and Takayuki Tamaki from Osaka. Good day! " — niklasbennwik • Jul 16, 2017

"Summited with my czech climbing friend Daniel. Sunny day, no wind. Some falling stones. Started from the lift at 3000 meters. After the summit we returned to Weissmeishutte. The day after we went up to Weissmeis but returned from 3700 meters. Very nice area!!" — niklasbennwik • Sep 3, 2016
