Via Ferrata Schulter und Randkluft Hoher Dachstein
partially opened Klettersteigen
For the Randkluft approach (descent): Glacier Equipment required! (beware of crevasses)
The climb to the top of the highest summit in Styria is an experience withmagical views enjoyed at almost 3000 m above sea level. The shoulder ascent in combination with the Randkluftsteig to the top of the Hoher Dacshtein is very doable in combination with the Dacshtein cable car. The short hike to the start, in particular, makes this via ferrata very attractive and popular. However, it should not be underestimated, not least because you are in high-alpine terrain.
Comments:
As you hike up across the glacier, you need to keep your eyes openn for crevasses (we recommend roping up!). In the lower section of the Randkluftsteig, there is a danger of rockslides whenever it gets busier. In high summer especially, you might have to deal with"traffic jams" of climbers. Also pay attention to developing storms.
Times:
- Via Ferrata - 2:00 h
- Time to Base - 1:00 h
- Time from Top - 1:30 h
- Total - 4:30 h
