Interesting, very steep via ferrata on the right side of the climbing garden.
SAFETY ON THE VIA FERRATA
The Austrian Alpine Club has formulated 10 recommendations for climbing via ferratas to increase safety:
Helmet, climbing harness with via ferrata set, via ferrata gloves, suitable footwear.
The via ferrata has few footholds but numerous ladders. At the end of this short but challenging via ferrata, there are two route options to choose from. Approximately a 30-minute walk from the Moosalm to reach the start. The route is located in the right part of the climbing garden in Sölden.
Descent
From the end of the wire rope, climb about 2 m up to a path. Follow this path to the right and along climbing and wire ropes to a short, unsecured rock step. Descend the rock (1 m) and then continue through low thuja bushes on trail traces, immediately after across a terraced steep meadow, past several climbing routes back to the start.
Route length and time required
80 meters of elevation gain and 150 m rope length. 0.5 hours, about 50 minutes including the descent.
