Austria-Via Ferrata Sinabell
Via Ferrata
Sinabell's impressive southwest-facing wall can be seen from afar. At the summit, an alpine meadow, filled with flowers and grazing sheep, invites you to take a break with wonderful views across mountaintops from the Enns Valley and the Schladminger Tauern to the high-alpine terrain of 'Am Stein'.
Due to some very consistent passages at grade C, the via ferrata appears somewhat more challenging, especially for less experienced via ferrata climbers. As a day trip from the valley, the via ferrata is quite demanding due to the long approach with over 1,000 meters of elevation gain. However, with an overnight stay at the Guttenberghaus, it's a pleasant half-day tour and can easily be combined with the via ferratas on the Eselstein.
Times:
- Via Ferrata - 1:15 h
- Time to Base - 3:15 h
- Time from Top - 3:00 h
- Total - 7:30 h
