Ramsau am Dachstein

Via Ferrata Rosina

Data:

Tour description

The constructor of this protected climbing path, Hans Prugger, has created a vertical masterpiece, which heads straight up – after crossing a rope bridge – from the canyon to the exit.

With no hiking passages or ledges for a break, you need a lot of upper-body strength to get from the entrance to the top. Spend a perfect day out by combining the Via Ferratas: Hias, Siega, and Rosina. A little break at the Silberkarhütte will help to ease away the day’s activities.

Times:

Via Ferrata - 1:00 h
Time to Base - 0:20 h
Time from Top - 0:50 h
Total - 2:00 h

Map, elevation profile & further information

From the bus stop or the Silberkarklamm parking lot, walk through the gorge (a fee applies!) toward the starting point. After the start of the Hias via ferrata, hike uphill to the next rope bridge. This bridge starts to the right of the trail and leads over the stream into the rock face.

At the exit, follow the path uphill for about 15 minutes until you reach the hiking trail. From there, turn right to the Silberkarhütte and the Siega via ferrata, or turn left to the Fliegenpilz snack bar and the starting point.

The descent via the Silberkar Höhenweg is a challenging forest and root-covered trail with exposed sections. As part of an extensive trail renovation in 2024, the trail was completely renovated, and some existing rope safety devices were removed.
