Via ferrata "Gamsblick"

Closed

The via ferrata "Gamsblick" on the Traweng is embedded between Tauplitzalm and the Tote Gebirge. Climbers have an impressive view of the mountain landscape from here.

The name gives it away: this via ferrata is only for chamois and experts. In difficulty level "C", you climb the eastern wall to the 1,981 m high summit of the Traweng. Included: great nature cinema with 360 degree panoramic views and overwhelming feelings of freedom.

On the way to the via ferrata, it is worthwhile to pay a short visit to the mountain church on the Tauplitzalm.

Safety guidelines
Along the via ferrata is a continuous steel rope. The approach to Steirertörl and the descent from the summit are marked.
