Climbing & via ferratas

High alpine adventures at lofty heights

If you want to feel the cool rock face and the mountain wind up close and are also looking for an adrenaline rush, the via ferratas on Hochkar are the perfect place for you.

In the mountain summer there are two via ferratas waiting for you, where you can experience the landscape panorama in a completely new way and be closer to nature than anywhere else with full concentration. The two via ferratas “Bergmandl” and “Heli-Kraft” offer alpine enthusiasts of all skill levels a unique mountain sports experience.

The "Bergmandl" via ferrata is ideal for anyone who is trying out mountain sports for the first time or who doesn't have that much climbing experience yet. Families are also in good hands on this trail.

The "Heli-Kraft" via ferrata offers the ideal challenge for advanced and experienced climbers. This climb with difficulty level C is not for the faint of heart.

Rental via ferrata sets

Via ferrata sets can be rented directly from the lift ticket office during the Hochkarbahn's operating hours. Information about prices and instructions can be found here.
