But please never forget that weather in the mountains can change very quickly.Stay on the marked hiking paths.

Complete via ferrata equipment (via ferrata set, harness, and helmet) is absolutely recommended even for experienced climbers!Personal mountain sports equipment must be safe, serviceable, and meet the relevant technical standard. Every hiker is advised to inform themselves about the planned routes in alpine specialist literature or on site.

Description

A wonderful fixed rope route in the Tannheim "Dolomites". Enjoy a breathtaking view of the Tannheimer Tal. From the Füssner Jöchle via the Schartschrofen into the via ferrata. During the climbing tour itself you don't notice much of the outside world - but during the breaks, when you need to catch your breath, the view over the panorama of the Alps is a real gift. At the top, it is hard to describe the feeling with which the climber enjoys his own performance and the world of the mountains.
