Mountain climbing

Climbing and mountaineering are amongst the oldest sporting activities in Zillertal

It”s no wonder that Zillertal and the metropolis of Mayrhofen in particular, with its mountaineering village of
Ginzling and countless three thousand metre peaks, earned its reputation as a mountaineering destination early on.

Via Ferrata – is the latest trend in mountain sport which allows even hikers – with the appropriate
equipment and dependant on difficulty, of course – to get a taste of the vertical extremes.
These so-called „Via Ferratas“ are secured to the rocks with steel cables and iron pins.

The degree of difficulty ranges from A (easy) to E (extremely difficult) and can be experienced on the four Via
Ferratas in the Mayrhofen Hippach holiday resort. We hope you enjoy this unique experience!
