MICHL – The Pleasure Via Ferrata

Panoramic view of Ahrntal via ferrata with climber, cable car mountain station and autumn alpine landscape

The MICHL via ferrata is perfect for both beginners and climbing enthusiasts.

With a difficulty rating of B, it offers a real climbing experience for visitors who are comfortable with heights.

After a short overhang, the route leads through a series of rock barriers that remain relatively low on average. It’s ideal for practicing clipping and unclipping carabiners. A short section divides the via ferrata into two parts.

A little highlight awaits along the way: a mountain stream offers a refreshing break and a chance to enjoy the surrounding nature. As you continue, you will reach one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Speikboden region. The small Speikboden Lake, a hidden gem, rewards you with a truly unique natural spectacle.
