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.
SAFETY ON THE VIA FERRATA
The Austrian Alpine Club has formulated 10 recommendations for via ferrata to increase safety:
Helmet, climbing harness with via ferrata set, via ferrata gloves, suitable footwear. Possibly poles for the descent, enough to drink
The difficulty is usually level B, but the height and walking time (about 2.5 hours ascent) should not be underestimated. Bring enough to drink on warmer days. A rope bridge called "Innschwebe" and the constant view into the wide Inn valley make the via ferrata especially rewarding. Due to the sunny location, the via ferrata is accessible almost all year round.
Length and time required
Almost 400 m elevation gain and just over 800 m total rope length. 2.5 hours ascent. 0.5 hours descent
