The Sulzfluh via ferrata is a demanding, quite long route in the upper enjoyment area (K4, points K4-5) with some exhausting steep passages and very airy crossings. Not necessarily the right tour for beginners! The Montafon via ferrata on the north side of the Sulzfluh is less difficult (K3), its absolute highlight is the Gauablick cave. A headlamp is essential for visiting them! If you climb both via ferratas one after the other, you have to take into account that the marked descent on the north side through the throat is quite tricky (craggy, easy climbing spots). In early summer there is rock-hard old snow here - light crampons and telescopic poles are definitely an advantage.sac-cas.ch/de/huetten-und-touren/sac-tourenportal/sulzfluh-1911/klettersteig/sulzfluhklettersteig-675

Super nice via ferrata, always on the vertical rock face, lots of iron.Also doable when the weather is not ideal, but be careful - in autumn there can already be snow on the top and then the markings are quickly no longer visible and the rocks, which are only downhill, are slippery.The Gauablickhöhle via ferrata is recommended for the descent towards the Lindauer Hut. The entrance is a bit hidden and the path is difficult to find, but a large Stoneman shows the way. Be careful here with oncoming traffic - in places it is difficult to pass each other.
