Description: Via ferrata only for experienced climbers with glacier experience
This difficult via ferrata is recommended only for experienced climbers, is located above the Gosaugletschers near the Adamekhütte.
Dream tour for all alpine via ferrata lovers!
Great alpine via ferrata above the Great Gosau Glacier in the tour area of the Adamekhütte on the NW slopes of the Hohe Kreuz. The via ferrata begins in an often shady steep wall and becomes a beautiful ridge ferrata from the Simonyscharte. Grandiose views of the glacier world of the Dachstein massif and the Hohen Dachstein accompany the via ferrata hiker up to the 2837 m high summit of the Hoher Kreuz. An alpine descent rounds off this high-altitude tour ferrata in style at the end, depending on the day's destination and time, you head for the Adamek or Simonyhütte .
For high-altitude tour lovers among via ferrata hikers, this is certainly one of the best via ferrata tours in the entire Dachstein region, but it also requires appropriate (glacier) experience!
