Alpspitz via ferrata

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

This via ferrata is perfect for beginners. A lot of emphasis was placed on safety. And you are gently confronted with the height.
It should be noted that the descent on the other hand can be a little uncomfortable for inexperienced people, since there are fewer protection options here.

Alpspitze summit cross

Highlight • Summit

The via ferrata to the summit is quite ferrous. 😉 This makes it quite crowded in summer.

The descent via the north face was still completely covered in snow, so we had to descend the same way we came. The via ferrata is still closed (officially), there is still too much snow, and some sections of the ascent are still covered in old snow. But it was relatively quiet, and there were few climbers out and about.

January 13, 2024,Wintertour auf die Alpspitze mit Alpspitz-Ferrata

Fantastic winter mountain day in GAP. Ride with the Alpspitzbahn to Osterfelderkopf. Then put on the via ferrata set and crampons, stow the ice ax within easy reach and, after a short walk, get on the via ferrata. More challenging in winter as ropes and footholds are often hidden under the snow. Deep snow also requires more energy. Not that …
