The 900-metre-long Ibex via ferrata in the Ratschingstal valley offers exciting challenges for both beginners and experienced climbers. The main route (maximum difficulty level: C) leads through woodland and across impressive rock faces before reaching a vertical wall. Benches along the route provide opportunities for short breaks. For more experienced climbers, there are also two demanding alternative sections of difficulty level E.
The Ibex children’s via ferrata is a 100-metre-long route designed to introduce young adventurers to the world of climbing. Accompanied by the mascot Raci, children learn about proper climbing techniques, the correct use of equipment and respectful interaction with nature and wildlife through informative panels along the route.
