Important Information

The via ferrata is regularly inspected for technical safety. However, conditions on the via ferrata and the approach are weather-dependent, and additional equipment (e.g., crampons) may be necessary in addition to the standard via ferrata gear.

Tour description

A short, beautiful, vertical via ferrata for anyone who doesn't want to walk from the Hunerscharte to the Dachstein cable car mountain station, but would rather tackle it in a sporty way via a via ferrata. You can also use the via ferrata to descend to the Hunerscharte.
