Description

Lovely, challenging via ferrata route through the west face of the Kleine Laserzwand. At 620 m in length, enormously steep and with prolonged difficult sections, it presents a real challenge for tenacious and fit via ferrata users.

The entire route is secured throughout with a thick steel cable (set up in 2006).
