Kettersteig

  • Ideal for beginners and children, there is a short practice via ferrata rated A+B right next to the hut; at the entry points to the Fernaufelsen, there are additional practice sections rated A–D.

    Difficulty: A to D

  • This via ferrata is located on the eastern pillar of the Egesengipfel and was built in 1999. The steep and exposed route features particularly scenic rest stops and is considered one of the most beautiful via ferratas in Tyrol. The via ferrata covers 200 meters of pure climbing elevation gain, and the Egesengipfel is reached after an additional 100 meters of elevation gain.

    Climbing time: 1.5–2 hours
    Difficulty: B and C, 2 sections rated D

  • The Express is one of the most challenging via ferratas in Austria! In addition to standard via ferrata gear, we recommend wearing climbing shoes.

    Climbing time: 1–1.5 hours
    Difficulty: D + E

Sport climbing

  • Beautiful routes on solid rock, ranging from one to four pitches in length on moderately steep terrain. Protected by bolts; rappelling down the routes is possible. Also suitable for beginners on multi-pitch routes. The approach to the starts is quite steep, so it’s not necessarily ideal for family climbing.

  • At the south-facing climbing area, just a 3-minute walk from the hut, there are 13 short, interesting routes ranging in difficulty from IV to VII.
