Via Ferrata Eselstein West Ridge
Ferrata
Comments:
Due to the long ascent from the Feistererhof via Guttenberghaus, this tour demands both the physical abilities and the technical skills of the viaferrata walking. Beginning at the Guttenberghaus, the two short via ferratas - the Eselstein West Ridge and Eselstein west wall- are a great combination with the Jubiläum and Sinabell via ferratas.
