Those who have a head for heights and are sure-footed but don't feel like making complicated knots or rope maneuvers are in the right place on well-secured via ferratas. Steps, iron ladders and steel cables are the distinctive features of a via ferrata. Some routes even have rope bridges, overhangs or rock tunnels.

It is characterized by a successful mix of steep Ferrata passages and wonderful hiking sections. With a length of two kilometers, it is one of the longest via ferratas in the Alps. The summits offer five very different routes with different levels of difficulty. So everyone can individually choose their ideal via ferrata with or without a summit victory.
