Klettersteig Gerlosstein

The Alpine via ferrata in the Zillertal is another tourist offering to bring our beautiful mountain world closer to nature-loving, active people of all ages during their summer vacation in the Zillertal. With the right equipment and proper handling, climbing a via ferrata is possible for everyone: secured to a continuous steel cable from the entrance to the exit, one climbs using artificial handholds and footholds combined with natural grips through the steep rock face. Via ferratas have become a lasting trend in mountain sports in the Alps, allowing hikers to experience the realm of verticality.
