Approach

Proceed through Paznaun to Galtür. Before the Jambach, turn off for Jamtal. After 100 metres, there is a car park for hikers on the left hand side of the road. The parking machines do not operate in the summer months. From the car park follow the Gampele road to the bridge. Bear right here across the bridge. Then take a left (square), follow the 'Panoramaweg' signposts. 100 metres after the wooden bridge (over the Jambach) follow the signposted path to 'Gorfenspitze'. The signposted path proceeds initially through a forest, then heads steeply up to a viewing bench (1980m). From there, follow the path (experts only) until you reach a ridge beneath the Gorfenspitze. From here it is a very steep, in parts easy climbing section (difficulty level 1) up to the entrance of the via ferrata.

Descent

From the summit of the Gorfenspitze (2558 m) on the same route back to the starting point.

Description

The via ferrata to the Gorfenspitze is more of a challenging mountain path with some via ferrata elements below the peak. The tour starts in Galtür and follows a marked hiking trail through steep grass and rocky areas, requiring sure-footedness. The via ferrata sections are short and have difficulties from A to B. Although partially secured with steel cables in the upper part, the route is technically less demanding in the lower areas, making it a good option for less experienced via ferrata climbers.
