Route description

An alpine via ferrata that requires stamina.

The via ferrata is not suitable for children.

The via ferrata over the Tajakante offers views of a magical landscape with hundreds of peaks and ridges and jewel-like lakes.

The exciting route leans directly against the ridge and offers everything: great difficulty, great length, great views, geologically interesting surroundings.

Descent
From the Vorderer Tajakopf (2450 m), first descend via scree terrain (partly secured with steel ropes), then on the marked path to the Coburger Hütte (1917 m) (approx. 2 hours).
The descent from the Vorderer Tajakopf runs through steep, alpine terrain. Sure-footedness and alpine experience are necessary.

Descent routes
From the Coburger Hütte via the “Hoher Gang”, approx. 2.5 hours.
From the Coburger Hütte via the Ehrwalder Almbahn mountain station, approx. 2.5 hours.
From the Coburger Hütte via the Immensteig, approx. 2.5 hours.

The descent is alpine. Surefootedness is a prerequisite. Pay particular attention to the weather forecast in the high alpine area. Snow, fog and thunderstorms increase the difficulty enormously.

Caution: The climb has no emergency exit!
