Ahornach - Hans Kammerlander Klettersteig (E): nomen est omen. The via ferrata named after extreme mountaineer Hans Kammerlander in his home village of Ahornach absolutely lives up to its name.

PROGRAM
Day tour: Ahornach via ferrata
We meet directly in Ahornach in the village, where we park. From the village centre we descend slightly to the start of the Hans Kammerlander Klettersteig. The approach takes about 30 minutes. From there, it is a good 3 hours of holding on, climbing higher, staying on the wall, and in between enjoying the fantastic views straight down the steep face.
A truly demanding and very rewarding via ferrata adventure that experienced via ferrata climbers can definitely look forward to. Many varied passages await us, including suspension bridges in different styles, a 15-metre-long hanging ladder, a tree trunk, and excellent climbing sections. From the exit, we then head back to the village and the starting point of our tour, full of strong impressions.
Total time: 4 h | ↑ 450 m ascent | ↓ 450 m descent | Difficulty: E (via ferrata)
Any changes to the program that may be necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, accommodation booking situation, etc.) will always be made in consultation with the participants.
