Via Ferrata Franz

Tour description

In addition to the practice via ferratas, the Franz via ferrata on the Stoderzinken is an attractive, well-designed, enjoyable via ferrata of considerable length. At around 300 metres in length, it is one of the longer via ferratas and offers a varied climb of medium difficulty. The via ferrata was named after Franz Seebacher, who, alongside Julius Steiner, was instrumental in the construction of the road and lift on the Stoderzinken.

The practice via ferratas Karl, Julius, Emil and David can be easily combined with the Franz or Peter via ferrata in the form of a warm-up via ferrata round.

Times:

  • Via Ferrata - 1:15 h
  • Time to Base - 0:30 h
  • Time from Top - 0:35 h
  • Total - 2:15 h
