Via ferrata

Short via ferrata – a little below the Erfurter Hütte – which was built especially for families and beginners. The via ferrata route leads along the edge of a pasture over unspectacular stepped rocky terrain. The exit is near the Erfurter Hütte on a meadow. The route is perfect for those seeking a short via ferrata for a leisurely scramble or for practicing near the mountain station of the Rofan cable car.
