The Innsbruck via ferrata leads in two parts from the Hafelekar over the "Langen Sattel" to the Frau-Hitt-Sattel - with numerous peaks being climbed. Above all, this via ferrata has a lot to offer in terms of landscape - in addition to magnificent views of Innsbruck, which is almost 2000 meters below, you can also enjoy an incredible view of the glaciated mountains of the main Alpine ridge. In terms of climbing technology, this via ferrata has challenging and original passages (suspension bridge). Variety in the routing is guaranteed, as the first part mainly runs along a ridge, while the second part leads through a labyrinth of rock towers, notches and very steep wall passages. The via ferrata is a classic that should be done!

A great via ferrata!

The Innsbruck via ferrata consists of two parts.

For the 2 km long, first part on the steel cable you need 3.5 hours plus breaks, 15 minutes ascent from the Hafelekar mountain station and 1 hour descent to the Seegrube middle station.

Although most of them are only rated B, there are also a few B/C and C sections. Except for a short suspension bridge, it always goes along the rock with few step aids. The via ferrata often runs directly on the ridge. It is well secured. But there are also some - especially at the end - unsecured, long and exposed walking passages.

It is a serious alpine undertaking that requires experience, fitness, surefootedness and a head for heights. The via ferrata is not suitable for children. However, young people who are in good physical condition and have alpine experience can easily master the climb.

A helmet, climbing harness and energy absorber are a matter of course, even for experienced climbers. Via ferrata gloves with whole fingers are also recommended. For youngsters you might want to take a short safety rope with you. You should have enough provisions, water, weather protection and a bivouac sack with you and make sure the weather is stable. There is no way to take shortcuts, escape the weather, or stop along the way. The restaurant at the middle station closes well before the last descent of the cable car. Cell phone reception is given.
