Description

From the village square in Galtür, the hike proceeds to the Alpinarium and from there to the hamlet of Winkl. From there proceed through a steep forest section up to Gorfenspitze. At around 2.000 m, above the forest, this route and its exposure is really only suitable for experts. Continue to a ridge beneath the summit. From here it is very steep and in parts there are some sections of easy climbing (difficulty level 1) to get to the start of the via ferrata route. The ascent to the summit should only be tackled with full via ferrata equipment (climbing belt, via ferrata set and helmet). Rückweg: same route back.
