Join us for one of the most famous and demanding via ferrata tours in the Eastern Alps – the Königsjodler Klettersteig on the mighty Hochkönig massif. This spectacular alpine adventure involves:


  • Over 1.7 km of secured climbing routes
  • Stunning panoramic views from the Teufelshörner to the summit of Hochkönig
  • A thrilling mix of vertical climbs, exposed traverses, rope bridges, and challenging ridge crossings



After completing the via ferrata section, we will continue to the Matrashaus and descend via the Mitterfeldalm into the valley.
