5-summit via ferrata - Haidachstellwand
Via ferrata
The 5-summit via ferrata in the Rofan mountains offers steep ferrata passages and hiking sections over a length of 2km. It connects 5 peaks with routes of varying difficulty.
The Haidachstellwand in the Rofan mountains has walls of varying height dropping off vertically on every side. In the 90s, many new routes were created, especially on the SSW ridge, but most of them without bolts. In difficult sections, the routes are relatively well secured with pitons. Nevertheless, it is essential to take friend cams and wedges with you. Some routes have been renovated in the meantime.The most impressive sector is the challenging wire bridge and the stunning summit view from the Haidachstellwand (2,192m).
