Via ferrata SOPHIE at the Loser

With the beginner via ferrata "SOPHIE", the Loser Bergbahnen extend the mountain experience offer with an innovative youth and beginner via ferrata. The Loser Panorama via ferrata "Sophie" on the Diml Wand on the Loser Plateau is an attractive offer also for adult via ferrata beginners and is excellently suited as a via ferrata training for all age groups.

Sophie, the new climbing experience on the Loser has a difficulty level of A/B, with some spots C, has a length of 300 meters and overcomes a height difference of 70 meters. The start is at the Loser Alm. Via a short hiking trail you reach the entrance to the Diml Wand. The via ferrata is open from May to November. Both via ferratas, "Sisi" and "Sophie" were planned and initiated by Markus Raich. Just as graceful and challenging at the same time as Sophie Charlotte, the passionate sister of Empress Sisi of Austria-Hungary, the beginner via ferrata Sophie presents itself as the little sister of the famous Panorama via ferrata Sisi.
