The Mittenwald via ferrata
Mountain hikes
Start: Karwendelbahn Mittenwald mountain station - Destination: Karwendelbahn Mittenwald valley station
The Mittenwald via ferrata is a ridge traverse which offers grand views to both sides of the Karwendel and Wetterstein massif. This is an ambitious and very long day trip from Mittenwald on which experienced mountain
climbers will get their full money's worth. The fascinating via ferrata leads over a total of seven 2,000 meter-high peaks of the Karwendel range...
The Mittenwald via ferrata begins with the ascent to the Karwendelbahn station at 2,244 meters. The panoramic circular route at the mountain station leads up to the start of the via ferrata. From there, the route leads over a number of peaks: the northern, middle and southern Linderspitze, Sulzeklammspitze and Kirchlspitze - all between 2,300 and 2,323 meters high. The trail is steep in places, but well secured everywhere. Even if the climbing is easy, it is highly recommended that you use a via ferrata set to secure yourself. A helmet should be worn. As short sections have to be passed unsecured, a head for heights and surefootedness are essential. The climb leads to the Brunnsteinanger, a wide depression in the ridge. From Brunnsteinanger, ambitious via ferrata climbers can ascend to Rotwandlspitze and Brunnsteinspitze. The descent begins at Brunnsteinanger (around 1760 vertical meters in total) to Brunnsteinhütte and on to Hoffeld, via which the starting point, the valley station of the Karwendelbahn in Mittenwald, is reached.
The Mittenwald via ferrata is not accessible due to existing snow fields.
