Via ferrata Seeben Klettersteig

Difficulty ratings: D/E
Duration: 0:45 h
Altitude: 205 hm

- Sporty, very exposed challenge - At the Seebenbach waterfall - Close to the valley and easy to reach

We recommend because

Exposed via ferrata for professionals near the valley at Seebenfall. You need a lot of strength and climbing experience to master this route through the Seeben walls, which is almost entirely steep and graded D/E. Even the steep and rockfall-prone D-level entry wall shows what is required. The vertical "stopper slab" at the exit (D/E) takes its final toll after an hour of climbing. Not recommended in the rain, the waterfall alone can cause problems. Secured with lots of footholds and pins. Unsuitable for children. Access from the Ehrwalder Almbahn valley station. Experienced climbers sometimes use the route as the first section of the Ehrwald via ferrata circuit.

Route description

A very beautiful, exposed via ferrata that requires strength and skill. The via ferrata is not suitable for children.

A modern via ferrata close to the valley, which has been well renovated and offers a daring, challenging route through the Seebenwände next to the waterfall.

The approach from the valley station of the Ehrwalder Almbahn is easy, as is the descent via various well-marked mountain paths.

The 'Seebener' can also be considered the first section of the Ehrwald via ferrata circuit.

Due to its proximity to the waterfall, the Seeben via ferrata is extremely difficult in wet conditions. Also watch out for falling rocks: put on your helmet as soon as you approach below the walls. The via ferrata was renovated again in 2007 and there are now additional footholds at the start.
