Don't worry if you get hot while climbing. The thundering meltwater of the Rifflbach stream is always nearby and will lower your temperature.
Sporty and family-friendly via ferrata in Fernergries in the rear Kaunertal valley. The 240-metre-long route leads upwards along the rushing Rifflbach waterfall. Polished gneiss rock, slabs, a floor, two suspension bridges over the stream and vertical passages alternate. Mostly difficulty level B, two steep passages with clamps are B/C. Very well secured, therefore suitable for families with children.
