Blindsee Lakeside Path (via ferrata section)

Highlight • Trail

“Via ferrata” is a huge exaggeration. There are two short, easy steps on a metal path with a steel cable on the side of the mountain. However, unsuitable for bicycles.

January 26, 2024,Blindseerundtour ab Fernpassstrasse

Very nice tour for the winter (but also suitable as an introductory route or as an intermediate tour in summer!

In winter you can park directly on the Fernpassstrasse, then it's a long road to the lake. Depending on the snow conditions, snowshoes are suitable here.
On the round tour you should be very sure-footed on slippery snow or ice …

On the way back from Imst, we made a stop at the Blindsee for a walker. If you want to pay 15 euros, you can also drive right down to the parking lot - provided there are still spaces available. The lake shimmers in the deepest shades of turquoise and, together with the pine vegetation, forms a wonderful play of …

Difficult to reach, as access is via a narrow private road. The barrier opens when the driver pays €15 or presents a guest card (automatic card reader). It's a good idea to ask the hotel or landlord whether guest cards are accepted.

At 8.30 we had the Fernpassseeblick to ourselves. 👍🏻☺️

Then it went on over the Gacherblick in the direction of
South Tyrol🙋‍♀️🙋🏼☺️

September 3, 2022,Blindsee - Regeneration 🥾

After an opulent breakfast we went for active regeneration and digestion very close to the beautiful Blindsee. I was totally amazed at how beautiful the trails were and how few people were walking!

Except for a few friendly mountain bikers to share trails with, it was really nice and quiet. We bypassed the wider part of the path below on …
