Overview of our via ferratas

We have a long tradition of via ferratas - the oldest via ferrata in the Eastern Alps, the "Randkluft", leads to the Hoher Dachstein. The via ferratas "Anna" and "Johann" together with the "shoulder climb" form the "Dachstein Super Ferrata" with 1,200 meters of altitude one of the longest and most demanding routes in the Alps. But friends of less demanding via ferratas also get their money's worth. With 33 via ferratas of all levels of difficulty, there is something for everyone.

Via ferratas for children and beginners!

Beginners and little climbers can also climb high: the Sattelberg in Ramsau has established itself as the ideal starting point for via ferrata. Climbing fun is guaranteed on the children's via ferrata or on the three youth via ferratas in Kali's climbing garden.

And for all those who want to venture onto the rock for the first time, our experienced mountain guides are there with regular via ferrata courses.
