A beautiful via ferrata that can be climbed as a C or D via ferrata. Even the C variants are challenging and require a considerable amount of physical effort. There are only a few opportunities to catch your breath once you've passed the relatively easy entry point. After the first third, you can't really turn back; you have to continue climbing to the end, as the emergency exit isn't officially finished yet (as of June 2024). Don't be fooled by the A/B and B sections; they're easier sections or rope ladders, but they're still on steep rock and not suitable for taking a break.

On the descent, there's a small add-on with a great rope bridge and a short scramble. In any case, a fun, airy via ferrata with 230 meters of elevation gain and a length of 550 meters; definitely not suitable for beginners or those with a fear of heights 😬. But it's in top condition!

Completed three weeks ago, this fairly challenging via ferrata at the entrance to the Pfitschertal Valley has a difficulty rating of C to D, with three easier variants available, most of which are well-equipped with stirrups. The more difficult variants lack stirrups. The first C/D variant, in particular, requires sustained arm strength, as the feet usually only rest flat against the rock. The second C/D section is relatively easy for taller people. The D section in the third variant feels much easier. Some sections of the via ferrata are also exposed. The ladders are somewhat steep in places and appear a bit slippery, but in reality, they offer good footing. Even doable after rainy days.
