The Kaiser Mountains in Tyrol, with their numerous peaks and diverse rock formations – including towers, chimneys, ridges and smooth, steep rock faces – offer countless opportunities to experience rock climbing up close.

Via ferrata routes on the Wilder Kaiser

Adventures combining rock and steel in the Kaiser Mountains

As well as the short and challenging Klamml via ferrata and the practice via ferrata on the south face, the Wilde Kaiser also offers two long and demanding via ferratas on the north face.

Beginners will find ideal conditions in the tourism association’s weekly programme and in the region’s mountain guides to safely take their first steps on the combination of rock and steel.
