Ramsau am Dachstein

Via Ferrata Rosina

Data:

Tour description

The constructor of this protected climbing path, Hans Prugger, has created a vertical masterpiece, which heads straight up – after crossing a rope bridge – from the canyon to the exit.

With no hiking passages or ledges for a break, you need a lot of upper-body strength to get from the entrance to the top. Spend a perfect day out by combining the Via Ferratas: Hias, Siega, and Rosina. A little break at the Silberkarhütte will help to ease away the day’s activities.

Times:

Via Ferrata - 1:00 h
Time to Base - 0:20 h
Time from Top - 0:50 h
Total - 2:00 h
