Description

Interesting via ferrata in the immediate vicinity of the Franz Senn Hut. Botanically very valuable. Hardly anywhere else can you find so much wild edelweiss.

The Edelweiss Kelttersteig is probably the best ferrata in the vicinity of the Franz Senn Hut. The via ferrata is also very often used by courses. With a bit of luck, you will see one of the edelweiss that often grows in this area along the route! Ideal to combine with a climb to the Rinnenspitze - you get off the via ferrata at the top exactly on the way there.

Times/height differences:
Approach: 10 min.
Via ferrata: 40 min. / 90 hm
Descent: 15 - 30 min.
Starting point: Franz Senn Hut, 2147 m
