PLEASE NOTE: The Hanauer via ferrata is already closed for the winter.
The shortest route is from Boden. Follow the forest road to the valley station of the material cable car, then follow the trail until you reach the walls in front of the hut. The via ferrata is located in the immediate vicinity of the hut. The start of the via ferrata – currently not yet signposted – can be reached via the southern hut ascent (on the left coming from the valley).
After the exit at the hydroelectric power station, ascend along the water pipe.The path leads up to a small lake in a hollow. From here, follow the path to the Hanauer Hütte. From the hut, take the trail down to the material railway and from there take the forest path back to Boden.
Fabulous via ferrata course with a long rope bridge ending at the beautiful Hanauer Hütte, which is located on a rocky platform. When approaching from Boden, the rock faces of this platform rise up at the end of the high valley, through which the via ferrata courses lead in two different variations.
The via ferrata offers several variants, suitable for all skill levels. The easy via ferrata ends at the helicopter landing pad, right next to the hut. From the top of the power station, you can easily reach the hut via a path.
The via ferrata is closed in winter!
From Imst via the Hahntennjoch (note closures in winter and during heavy rain) to Boden, a small village on the Lechtal side of the Hahntennjoch. Or from Reutte into the Lechtal valley to Elmen, then turn off towards Hahntennjoch and continue up to Boden.
