Klettersteig Bürgeralm

Aflenz

The "Bürgeralm-Panorama-Klettersteig", built by Stefan Gatt & Team connects several small rock formations to an interesting crossing via ferrata.

After about half of the via ferrata you reach the so-called "arena", a 25 m high wall formation, in the middle of which there is an approx. 12 m long overhang.
The normal ascent bypasses this overhang and reaches a maximum level of difficulty D on the Austrian via ferrata scale. The "arena variant", on the other hand, leads directly over the large overhang and is one of the most difficult climbing passages in Europe.
