Route description

A wonderful, very difficult and strenuous via ferrata in the gneiss of the Sellrain mountains leading up to the 2807 m high Pockkogel. The altitude and north-facing location ensure long snow cover in spring and early snowfall in fall - which should definitely be taken into account when planning a tour. However, a sensational panoramic view awaits at the end of the via ferrata. In the first section, you immediately come to a key section with a difficulty level of C/D. In the second sector, there is a good section with a grade D. There are fewer footholds there, but excellent rock with natural holds. The summit ascent into the north face is certainly the highlight of this climbing tour. A head for heights are required on the unsecured walking passages between section 1 and section 2 as well as on the descent.
