Alpspitz via ferrata

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

This via ferrata is perfect for beginners. A lot of emphasis was placed on safety. And you are gently confronted with the height.
It should be noted that the descent on the other hand can be a little uncomfortable for inexperienced people, since there are fewer protection options here.

Alpspitze summit cross

Highlight • Summit

The via ferrata to the summit is quite ferrous. 😉 This makes it quite crowded in summer.

East Ridge of the Alpspitze

Nordwandsteig (Alpspitze)

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The descent from the Alpspitze may be a bit tricky at the beginning, since inexperienced people are lacking safety options here. You work your way down the gravel bed. Later it goes along rocks that offer firm tread and safeguards.

Rock Tunnel on the Nordwandsteig

Highlight (Segment) • Cave

Here the north face path leads through a long, narrow tunnel carved into the rock. A headlamp is helpful.

Today we climbed the Alpspitze Light with our friend and son, with age-appropriate cable car support. The via ferrata climb was in perfect weather; we chilled for hours at the summit, and returned via the east ridge and north face trail.
