Onward and upward!
Set against the majestic backdrop of the Dachstein south face, the sunny plateau of Ramsau stretches from 1000 m to 3000 m above sea level in the heart of the Schladming-Dachstein Region. A true Eldorado for highflier in all age groups: 30 via ferrata routes and mountaineering tours, including 2 designed especially for children, 3 for teens as well as “Kalis Klettersteig Garten”, offer exciting opportunities for everyone to refine their rock-climbing skills. And if you are finally ready to venture out onto a rock face for the very first time, our experienced mountain guides regularly offer introductory classes. Fixed-cable climbs – also known as via ferratas – look back on a long tradition in this part of the world. In fact, the oldest via ferrata in the Eastern Alps, known as the “Randkluft”, leads to the top of the Hoher Dachstein. When combined with 2 other via ferratas, the “Anna” and the “Johann”, it offers a tour that rises 1200 vertical meters in total, making it one of the longest and most challenging routes of its kind in the Alps.

Via ferrata in the region
We have a long tradition of via ferratas - the oldest via ferrata in the Eastern Alps, the "Randkluft", leads to the Hoher Dachstein. The via ferratas "Anna" and "Johann" together with the "shoulder climb" form the "Dachstein Super Ferrata" with 1,200 meters of altitude one of the longest and most demanding routes in the Alps. But friends of less demanding via ferratas also get their money's worth. With 30 via ferratas of all levels of difficulty, there is something for everyone.
Youth and children via ferratas
Beginners and little climbers can also climb high: the Sattelberg in Ramsau has established itself as the ideal starting point for via ferrata. Climbing fun is guaranteed on the children's via ferrata or on the three youth via ferratas in Kali's climbing garden.
And for all those who want to venture onto the rock for the first time, our experienced mountain guides are there with regular via ferrata courses.
