Via ferrata Via ferrata Haiming-Geierwand

Due to rock-clearing work, the via ferrata will be closed from Tuesday, 27.10, through and including Friday, 30.10.2026. Due to construction and blasting work, delays are to be expected in the descent area of the via ferrata from Monday, 16.11.2026, through and including Friday, 20.11.2026. The Geierwand via ferrata is a year-round climbing route. It can be used throughout the year, provided that the approach and descent are free of snow and ice.

Description

In the immediate vicinity of the Geierwand, construction activities and blasting operations are taking place for the Imst–Haiming power plant. Please be aware of potential noise levels and vibrations.

Characteristics:
Moderately difficult via ferrata in limestone which has a height of 400 m.
Mostly level of difficulty B, but the height and the climbing time (ca. 2,5h for the ascent) should not be underestimated. On warm days bring enough water with you. Through the Mini- and Midi-Variant even beginners can climb this via ferrata and if you wish to exit earlier, this is also possible. Elsewhere there is no emergency exit! The rope bridge "Innschwebe" and the constant view in the wide Inn Valley make this via ferrata particularly worthwhile.

Level of difficulty/equipment:
Entry (only over slabs, in running direction) starts off with B, in the small Gamsband you will find areas with B/C and near the rope bridge "Innschwebe" are some parts with C. Despite the height,  the last part is more simple with A/B an A.

Equipment:
Helmet, Climbing harness with via ferrata set, via ferrata gloves, suitable footwear, perhaps poles for the descent, enough to drink.

Length and time requirement:
Nearly 400 meters in altitude and almost over 800 m rope length. 2,5 h ascent, 0,5 h descent.
