Tegelbergbahn valley station

Highlight • Rest Area

Since the two huts are close together, you could have a snack in the first hut and then coffee and cake in the second, then you are really well fortified for the descent.

Yellow Wall Route (via ferrata)

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Very reasonable A-via ferrata. The 3-rope bridge can be bypassed and is just a Gimmic, thank goodness! To practice and for the entry super! Nevertheless, no one should go without via ferrata equipment (with helmet!)!

Once through the via ferrata difficulty scale on the Tegelberg - always beautiful!

I did the Fingersteig for the first time and it is really quite challenging in one or two places.

I find it a real shame that the spectacular Finger is only touched on and that you can't climb up to the cross. But well, that probably has …

That was a very intense day for us. Difficulties are, as is well known, relative. The Tegelbergklettersteig was quite enough for me. There are certainly challenging passages and a lot of air under your bum. My tip: don't rush and climb consciously with your legs, then you can enjoy the magnificent view. A short sling for catching your breath also …

Really cool and after 3 days of folk festival quite demanding climbing tour 😊 Climbing time almost 3 hours in total.
About 3 km too much distance recorded because of GPS jumps.

We went up the mountain on foot because the Tegelbergbahn was being serviced. Half exhausted, we started the via ferrata, which then finished us off. Almost the entire way up, but there are a few crossings with rest areas. In our opinion, C sections definitely become tricky D sections when it's wet. So think carefully beforehand about whether you can …

I know many people climb this route without safety equipment, but for my daughter, it was her first alpine via ferrata and a big deal. I'm proud of her.
