Saulakopf via ferrata

Key spot right at the beginning after the crossing. Partly overhanging. Many also start the route here because an alpine path leads up to this point.

    Due to its bold route guidance and the fantastic view, the Saulakopf via ferrata is one of the most beautiful routes in Montafon.

    The via ferrata crosses the mighty east face of the Saulakopf, leads boldly directly through the steep wall, and then follows the exposed ridge to the summit. Under the overhanging east face, the key point awaits you with a strenuous steep section (C/D) – exit options are available. Along the ridge, the route scores with a great view of the surrounding Rätikon peaks as well as an adventurous ladder bridge.
