Via-Ferrata through the north face: via ferrata with short passages of medium difficulty (B), but mostly easier (A/B and A). All in all, a lot of iron has been used and there is an inflationary amount of footholds. The descents are all alpine and a bit more demanding than the ascent.
Surefootedness and a head for heights are necessary for the ascent.
The tour first leads from Hammersbach along well-surfaced and signposted hiking trails to Kreuzeck.
From there, we continue by hiking trail/mountain path following the lift construction of the Längenfelderbahn towards the Osterfelderkopf and finally reach the Osterfelderkopf via a short via ferrata at the Hoch Alm level. After a short rest at the mountain station of the Alpspitz cable car, we transfer through the Höllentor to the Alpspitz Ferrata. Via the well-secured, via ferrata category A/B we reach the summit of the Alpspitze.
After a short rest, we descend in a south-westerly direction for approx. 700m along a path towards Grieskarscharte/Mathaisenkar. We follow the signs to the right and climb via the via ferrata (category C) into the Mathaisenkar. From here, we continue along a mountain path to the Höllentalanger hut. We take a short rest, descend the last stretch through the imposing Höllentalklamm gorge, and finally back on a hiking trail towards Hammersbach to our starting point.
From Munich or Seefeld to Garmisch and on to Hammersbach (large car park for Höllental walkers). Public transport: Take the train to Garmisch and the Zugspitzbahn to Hammersbach.
