Ramsau am Dachstein

Via Ferrata Siega

Data:

Important Information

The gorge is privately owned by the Erlbacher family. 100% of the maintenance fee goes towards maintaining the gorge trail.

Tour description

Over two weeks of construction, 260 metres of steel cable and numerous pegs were mounted. No modern elements, such as rope bridges, were added to this classic sports Via Ferrata. The route is named after Siegmund, the owner of the Stangalm.

In some places, the rock is very crumbly. For experienced via ferrata fans, the combination of all 3 via ferratas in the Silberkarklamm is ideal, with Siega Klettersteig guaranteeing a great conclusion.

Times:

Via Ferrata - 0:50 h
