Climbing with a View

Via Ferrata

The via ferrata on the Pockkogel leads up the steep northeast flank to 2,807 meters. About 650 meters of steel cable, exposed sections, and impressive granite make this route an alpine adventure for experienced via ferrata climbers.

Challenging in Two Sections

A C+ difficulty section awaits you right from the start. The second section increases in difficulty up to grade D and demands strength, technique, and concentration. In return, the summit rewards you with a sweeping panorama of the surrounding Alpine ranges.
