Heini Holzer Via Ferrata

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The 500 meter high ascent, which is perfectly secured with 1000 meters of steel cable, has medium difficulties (A - B - places B / C). He should not be underestimated because of its length! Good basic condition, an early departure and stable weather conditions are important prerequisites for a visit. There is no emergency exit and no water on the route. Shortly over about half of the ascent, there is the Heini-Holzer rest area. It also offers beautiful views of the south-west flank, where Heini Holzer skied in 1974 with skis up to 55 ° downhill. The view to Merano and the surrounding mountains is terrific.

Heini Holzer Via Ferrata to Große Ifinger

Highlight • Climb

The via ferrata from small to large Iffinger is probably A / B. Experienced mountain hikers do not need a via ferrata set.

Ifinger Peak

Highlight • Summit

Kl. Ifinger for hired hikers easily. At the short via ferrata to the Gr. Ifinger should be a dizziness condition. Climbing harness is recommended.

July 21, 2021,Lift Meran 2000 nach Heini Holzer Klettersteig

Today's via ferrata was marked as difficult in the Sentres app, but can be climbed from the age of 10. It went uphill all the time and there was a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains. It felt like cat. C, but marked as B. The cool thing was that it was broken down into 16 sections. This allows you …

Today's via ferrata was on the agenda. In the Meran2000 alpine pasture area above Schenna, there's the Heini Holzer via ferrata on the Ifinger Pass. And that was the one we were going to do, with perfect mountain weather. On the descent, we made a quick stop at the Kuhleiten Hut before heading back to the cable car.
