Via ferrata safety tips

You don’t need extensive climbing or mountaineering experience to tackle a via ferrata, but you should have advanced hiking skills. It’s also important to have good equipment, use correct techniques, be considerate of other climbers and respect the natural environment.

Mountain & ski guides

Before you go, understand the terrain and conditions you will encounter. Experienced mountaineers can climb via ferratas self-guided. If you appreciate the comprehensive and expert knowledge of professionals, book a local mountain & ski guide to accompany you on your adventure.

Accommodations

The Achensee holiday region offers accommodations to suit everyone: hotels, holiday apartments, inns, pensions, and farm-stay holidays. If you are looking for a mindful experience in nature, check out the region’s five campsites, which are embedded in unspoilt nature.
