Hunerscharte
Via Ferrata
The climb up to the Hunerscharte is a well-known way to reach Dachstein glacier from the south, with permanent safety features for the final 200 vertical meters. For mountaineers in good condition, it leads directly to the Sky Walk Klettersteig, though is also a very attractive way to reach the Koppenkarstein Westgrat Klettersteig.
