  • Höhenprofil

    Short and easy via ferrata, also suitable for families. The view of the surrounding peaks is overwhelming.

    Despite the short route and moderate difficulty, this via ferrata is a rewarding destination for the whole family. After a short approach, you climb a few altitude meters with a slight incline along the ridge. Fantastic views down and a unique panorama of Madrisella, Heimspitze and Versettlaspitze open up. Due to its almost horizontal line, this via ferrata can be climbed in both directions.

    Approach: After the ascent with the Versettla Bahn, you reach the start after about a 30-minute walk on a signposted hiking trail.

    Descent: From the exit, a hiking trail leads back to the Versettla Bahn mountain station. Alternatively, you can climb back over the via ferrata and thus reach the mountain station via the approach.

    A crossing of the via ferrata is also possible in winter, which is significantly more demanding since parts of the cable protection may then be covered with snow.
