Rock climbing

The national park is subject to a fee. A five-day ticket for climbers currently costs €24. Those who want to climb to the last parking lot pay an additional €5 per day.

In return, there are approximately 500 climbing routes of all lengths and difficulty levels. Many easy, long, gradual climbs stand out.

Hiking

The hike was beautiful but difficult. For families who simply want to go on a short hike in nature, the entrance fee (€10/adult) is quite public. Climbers and via ferratas will certainly get their money's worth.
