Description

The Edelweiss Kelttersteig is probably the best ferrata in the vicinity of the Franz Senn Hut. The via ferrata is also very often used by courses. With a bit of luck, you will see one of the edelweiss that often grows in this area along the route! Ideal to combine with a climb to the Rinnenspitze - you get off the via ferrata at the top exactly on the way there.

Times/height differences:
Approach: 10 min.
Via ferrata: 40 min. / 90 hm
Descent: 15 - 30 min.
Starting point: Franz Senn Hut, 2147 m
