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, possibly poles for the descent.
The practice via ferrata Piburg is a small via ferrata on the west shore of Lake Piburger directly in the village of Piburg. The short route traverses a small rock face in ascent and has a small rope bridge in the middle section. For people with little via ferrata experience, this route is ideal to experience the first rock/iron contact in the Ötztal.
Note on the protections:
Well protected with steel cable and foot clamps.
Additional note on the difficulty:
Short sections B/C, mostly around A and B.
Entry to the wall:
From the parking lot on the forest track to the small equipment house of the fire department and behind it to the already visible rock face.
Descent:
From the exit on the path below the wall back to the forest track and from there to the parking lot.
Rental:
Via ferrata sets, helmets, and climbing harnesses can be rented at Hotel Seerose in Piburg.
