Franzi Via Ferrata Reiteralm
Klettersteigen
The Franz Klettersteig on the Reiteralm is the first via ferrata in the Schladminger Tauern. It is a via ferrata with several variants and a sporty route through the vertical Gasselwand between the existing hiking paths of the Reiteralm Rundwanderweg. It shouldn't be underestimated; The toughest passagae is in the upper section and demands major reliance on the steel cable. Good in combination with a hike to the top of the Rippetegg, with unique scenersy including constant views of the Dachstein massif.
