Via Ferrata Tonisteig
Via ferrata
Data:
from 01.10.2026
Tour description
The Tonisteig is a well-secured, occasionally very exposed via ferrata leading to a striking summit. The descent via the east side is rather loose and slippery in parts and less beautiful. However, in combination with the Tonisteig, it is a highly recommended way to cross the Hochtausing. Also possible in the reverse direction, of course.
Remark:
The approach to the Tonisteig leads a little longer via the Schneehitzalm due to the hunting ban on the Tausingkar.
