"Gerlossteinwand" - the first fixed-rope climbing route in the Zillertal valley

"Gerlossteinwand" - the first via ferrata in the Zillertal

The first fixed-rope climbing route in the valley between Zell im Zillertal and Gerlos has been finished. The new 380 meter long fixed-rope climbing route, "Gerlossteinwand", leads along a 240 meter high wall on the same-named mountain. It doesn't only offer Alpine pleasures, but also leads to one of the valley's most beautiful peaks. Introductory trial climbs for beginners are offered on the new route, categorized as medium difficult, which was constructed by the local mountain rescue team, in cooperation with the Zillertal Arena. The local alpine sports schools provide expert tips and accompany beginners on the climb, which can be comfortably reached with the Gerlosstein cable car.
