Route description

One of the first via ferratas in Tirol, it was completely renovated in 2002 and offers beautiful views of the Hüttenturm and the Lamsenspitze (2,508 metres). The most outstanding passage is the via ferrata section in the cave. You exit the cave via a steep step through a large hole in the rock face.
