Description

The Sommerwand via ferrata was designed as a practice via ferrata, so it is particularly recommended for via ferrata beginners.

The Sommerwand via ferrata leads up the left edge of the climbing garden of the same name via slab ramp. The ferrata has more of a practice via ferrata character and is often used by courses. The via ferrata is worth doing after the Höllenrachen via ferrata (at the last rope bridge, however, you get off on the left side of the stream).

Times / height differences:
Approach: 30 - 35 min.
Via ferrata: 15 min. / 60 hm
Descent: 15 - 30 min.
Starting point: Franz Senn Hut, 2147 m
