Via Ferrata Tonisteig

Tour description

The Tonisteig is a well-secured, occasionally very exposed via ferrata leading to a striking summit. The descent via the east side is rather loose and slippery in parts and less beautiful. However, in combination with the Tonisteig, it is a highly recommended way to cross the Hochtausing. Also possible in the reverse direction, of course.

Remark:

The approach to the Tonisteig leads a little longer via the Schneehitzalm due to the hunting ban on the Tausingkar.

Times:

  • Via Ferrata - 0:30 h
  • Time to Base - 2:00 h
  • Time from Top - 1:30 h
  • Total - 4:00 h

Klettersteigen ist ein anspruchsvoller Sport inmitten herrlicher, rauer Natur. Bitte beachte einige Regeln zu Deiner Sicherheit:

  • Klettersteig-Touren sind kraftraubend und erfordern Kondition, Schwindelfreiheit und Trittsicherheit.
  • Unbedingt immer ein Klettersteigset/Klettersteigausrüstung und einen Helm verwenden und im Sicherungsseil einhängen. Viele Bergrettungseinsätze sind auf Leichtsinn und schlechtes Wetter zurückzuführen.
  • Stets rücksichtsvoll verhalten. Andere Klettersteiger respektieren und über Gefahren informieren. Sorgsam mit der Natur umgehen!

Tour auf eigene Gefahr! Es wird keinerlei Haftung bzgl. allfällig gegebener bzw. auftretender Alpingefahren (Wetter, etc..) übernommen.
