Weitmoser via ferrata – Route description

The approach to the via ferrata takes about 20 minutes and starts at the Schlossalm mountain station via trail no. 3. The Weitmoser route features stepped terrain. At the most challenging point in the middle section (C), you’ll have to master a short, steep slab. The route then continues to the summit of Mauskarspitze. The descent follows the hiking trail secured with steel cables down to the Schlossalm mountain station.

Our tip: The Weitmoser via ferrata can be combined with two other routes. It is conveniently located for tackling the Hochalmblick via ferrata first. And on the descent from the Weitmoser via ferrata, you can also take the fork to the Hirschinger via ferrata.
