The desire to experience that special thrill while hanging on a vertical rock face can be fulfilled on the four via ferratas in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. Steps, iron ladders and steel ropes in various levels of difficulty secure the way on natural rock. By the way, the Italian word “via ferrata” literally translates to “iron path”. 

Via ferratas come in levels of difficulty from A to E, and they allow climbing newbies to explore alpine terrain even without much climbing experience. Regardless of the level of difficulty of the via ferrata, professional equipment is mandatory. This equipment includes a climbing harness, a helmet and a via ferrata set with shock absorbers as well as gloves and appropriate footwear. 

Important information: Climbing at the “Steinbruch” in Ehrwald (railroad tracks) is currently prohibited. You must not go climbing there! We will communicate any changes to this regulation.

Coburger Steig via ferrata

Alpine, vertical, and on fixed routes: The Coburger Steig via ferrata at 2,350 metres above sea level is a highlight for climbers. Upon completing the challenging ascent, you are rewarded with breathtaking 360-degree views from the top. As a connecting via ferrata, we recommend combining this via ferrata with the Tajakante via ferrata. This route isn’t suitable for children.

Seebenklettersteig via ferrata

The Seebenklettersteig via ferrata offers modern sport climbing close to the valley. Climbing through the so called "Seeben walls" in the Mieminger range mountains is a test of strength and skill. Even though the route is well-maintained and marked, children should not climb along for safety's sake. 

Tajakante via ferrata

A 600-metre, alpine fixed route in 1,850 metres above sea level: This challenging route leading along a ridge requires lots of stamina and sure-footedness. Children aged ten years and older who have enough climbing experience and skills are allowed on this via ferrata – and will equally enjoy the stunning scenic views of the surrounding summits and ridges.
