A relatively long and therefore somewhat strenuous climb with difficulty levels up to C. Mostly B or B/C, with category C in several flat sections. Very popular and therefore also scaled down in some sections. A nice entry point is provided via the ladder that branches off from the Gelbe Wand trail. In good weather, you'll need to allow plenty of time due to the crowds and the associated waiting times (in our case, the entire tour from the valley station to the summit station took six hours).

Rock climbing

Although some sources list a higher difficulty level, this via ferrata has a difficulty rating of C. However, you should definitely not heed the advice on the sign below ("If you already reach your physical limits in the section after the ladder, you should turn back immediately" or something similar), because:
1. The section after the ladder is
in my experience 100% the
most difficult section, and
2. You MUST NOT turn back!
In the morning, the entire route, except for the easy final section, is in shade.
