The tour
The constructor of this protected climbing path, Hans Prugger, has created a vertical masterpiece, which heads straight up – after crossing a rope bridge – from the canyon to the exit.

With no hiking passages or ledges for a break, you need a lot of upper-body strength to get from the entrance to the top. Spend a perfect day out by combining the Via Ferratas: Hias, Siega, and Rosina. A little break at the Silberkarhütte will help to ease away the day’s activities.

Turn-by-turn directions

Access:

After approaching means of the Hias via ferrata, hike up through the Silberkarklamm to the next rope brideg on the right-hand side, crossing the stream.

Descent:
