Via ferrata Giovanni Lipella is one of the most emblematic routes in the Dolomites.

Austrian Alps: Via Ferrata Zugspitze (B)
Here I Hike
by Karina Isar
2y ago
Zugspitze is the highest peak in Germany located at the southern border with Austria. Basically you can ascend the peak from many sides either by foot or by cable car. The most popular routes are from Germany on the North-Eastern side or on the Western side from Austria. Both routes have a cable car and both can also be covered by foot. We chose to go from the Austrian side and also make the Via Ferrata Zugspitze (the German name is STOPSELZIEHER). The difficulty on the Austrian side is classified as B and it is really easy. The only hard thing is the ascent of more then 2000 verti ..read more

Austrian Alps: Via Ferrata Steingrubenkogel (C)
Here I Hike
by Alex Isar
2y ago
Our plan  for the day was to stay in the area of the Stubai Alps and to attempt a half day route that would take us to over 2600 meters. Since the weather forecast was not looking very promising, with rain in the second part of the day, we wanted to do something that would not be extremely long.  We risked it and set out towards the peak even though we knew a potential storm was coming. This small mountain sector is really beautiful and reminiscent of the Italian Dolomites. The peaks are steep and somehow fragmented, with vertical walls composed of loose, limestone-ish ro ..read more

Austrian Alps: Via Ferrata Innsbruck (C/D)
Here I Hike
by Alex Isar
2y ago
Situated  in the western part of Austria on the river Inn, Innsbruck is the largest city in this part of the country. The location of this town is more than idyllic,  in a wide, open valley with plenty of sunlight but at the same time surrounded by high rocky peaks on all sides. Furthermore, from the city, you can climb all the  way up to almost 3000 meters for a fantastic view of the area. While you are up here in the Austrian Alps  it would be a great idea to try the Via Ferrata Innsbruck, or as the locals call it, the Nordkette Klettersteig.  This is one ..read more

Austrian Alps: Via Ferrata Fulpmes (B)

We set out in the direction of Austria fully loaded, with a ton of equipment by our side. I think that if we will plan to have a holiday together with another couple and to travel with only one car, we will never manage to fit everything inside. We are starting to have this problem only for the two of us. As such we are actually considering that our next car might be a minibus. For this holiday we did not preplan all of the days. Rather we chose a few hikes, bike trails and via ferratas’ that we would like to approach and decided to be spontaneous or choose them in regards to the l ..read more
