The via ferrata „Ölberg“ in Afens in Pfitsch, with about 550 m climbing length, requires surefootedness and a head for heights. After the village Wiesen near the town of Sterzing, directly after the tunnel in the direction of the Pfitsch valley, there is a parking possibility. From here, walk back along the old “Pfitscher” road to the start of the via ferrata. It leads along the rock face in the right part of the Ölberg, where there are different variants with varying degrees of difficulty. These lead to a shoulder with a small rest area and then further down again on a partly secured path. Shortly before the village Afens a stream is crossed with a suspension bridge, the bridge can also be bypassed via a footpath. Afterwards, you have the option of descending either via Afens or directly back to the starting point at the parking lot. 

Difficulty / Equipment
On the difficulty scale from A to E (from easy to extreme), the Ölberg via ferrata is at B / D, in the middle range. Here, a large part of the route can be assigned to the B range. Several variants offer the difficulty level D, while the easier options are at B / C. Thus, the Ölberg via ferrata is ideal for experienced via ferrata enthusiasts. For children who already have climbing experience, a minimum height of 1.30m is recommended.

Climbing length and duration
230 meters in altitude and 550m climbing length.
Ascent approx. 2 ¼ hours
- with descent to the starting point a total of approx. 3 hours

Descent 
Either via Afens or directly back to the starting point at the parking lot.

A tricky, demanding, superbly constructed route with absolutely breathtaking views. The via ferrata was named after the mountaineer from Ahornach. The route begins close to the Kleingruberhof in Ahornach, covers 600 metres in length and 300 vertical metres, and requires nerves of steel and a lot of strength – above all in the arms.  After a relatively moderate start, the rock face becomes extremely steep. According to Hans Kammerlander, there is nothing like it in the entire Dolomite region; the difficulty reaches level E, but is mostly D and C. The path ends after around three hours of climbing near the Kofler zwischen den Wänden and is only suitable for experienced climbers. A good head for heights is one hundred percent essential.

Route description:
A short ladder up to an overhang (E), then a B/C and C-grade traverse to the Burma bridge (A/B). After the bridge continue (B) to a small niche and then steeply (D) to a flake and right into the narrow intersection (D/E). The intersection widens (D) and leads to the 15-m ladder (inside B/C; outside C). After the ladder, a left turn (D and briefly E) over the roof and climbing to the right (D and C) in easier terrain (B/B). Then the route moves on to an edge and the long, ascending traverse begins (always B, B/C and also briefly C) up to the next overhang. Just before this the face becomes steeper (C/D) and you will reach the tree trunk on which you cross to the roof edge. Next briefly D and then easier to the rope bridge. Cross this bridge and then traverse horizontally (B). The rope becomes steeper (C and C/D) and leads up under the next bridge, which is reached by looping round to the left (B). After the second bridge a slab pillar (up to C) leads up to the exit at a wooden fence.

“Michl” is just waiting for a visit from leisure and beginner climbers. On an easy, B-difficulty course, it can offer a real climbing experience to any visitor with a half-good head for heights. After a little overhang, climbers pull themselves over rock bars that on average remain relatively low. Ideal for practising clicking and changing carabiners. A short hiking route shares the via ferrata in two sections. Small surprise: a stream provides refreshment and a place to rest and let you take in the natural surroundings. And not forgetting your own climbing performance too. After a further climb, at the exit of the via ferrata is one of the loveliest viewing points in the Speikboden area. The little Speikboden lake, a hidden gem, rewards all visitors with a natural spectacle at the conclusion of the climb.

Anyone who has got the bug for more climbing can hike down the mountain to the start of the Speikboden's “Genie in a Bottle” via ferrata. Climbers who have used “Michl” to warm up will manage well on the next via ferrata.

Easy via ferrata on the Monte Sole in Laces

The Poppele-Knott via ferrata is a short via ferrata where the safety distances are partly far apart. At the beginning of the climb, the climb becomes more difficult with increasing height. At the end you reach a smooth wall with small steps.

The via ferrata „Stuller Wasserfall“ is a medium-difficulty-level climb with a very difficult variation in the middle part, which can be bypassed. This steep and exposed climb proceeds through a breathtaking setting in the immediate vicinity of the roaring waterfall.

About two thirds of the way through the climb there is the possibility to discontinue the ascent and take a footpath to Stuls or descend to Moos. The final section of the via ferrata can also be undertaken as a short journey from Stuls with access via said footpath.

From the large parking lot in Moos, head briefly toward the bus stop and follow the path to the parish church. A few meters after the parish church, turn left onto the trail “Passerschluchtenweg” and walk about 20 minutes in the direction of St. Leonhard.

“Hoachwool” – via ferrata di prima categoria
All’imbocco della Val Senales e di fronte a Castel Juval di Reinhold Messner,
si trova una delle più affascinanti vie ferrate dell’Alto Adige. Con una
lunghezza di corda di 1400 m e un dislivello di 630 metri, un ponte tibetano
posto a 32 metri di altezza sul rio Senales, la via ferrata “Hoachwool” è
impegnativa ma accessibile a tutti. 200 anni fa il beneficiato di Parcines
raccomandava il “sentiero proibito “, che rappresenta una parte della nuova
via ferrata, soltanto a coloro che “avevano i piedi ben saldi, i cui occhi non
soffrivano di vertigini e le cui ginocchia non tremavano.” Oggi la via ferrata
si snoda lungo l’antica canalizzazione d’acqua della Val Senales/Naturno,
una roggia lunga 10 km chiamata in passato dagli abitanti di Naturno anche
“Hoachwool“. Oltrepassando le imponenti rocce, godendo di panorami
mozzafiato, strutture di gran risalto, come l‘Elferplått (una roccia come meridiana)
e la “Stegerfrau”, rendono la via ferrata “Hoachwool” unica e speciale.
Il Monte Sole con il “Hoachwool” è sempre stato un luogo fiabesco. E
risulterà magico anche per tutti coloro che lo vivranno come via ferrata.

On the climbing wall Alperia on the dam wall in Val Martello, both beginners and experts will find their routes. On the high walls, which promise a special climbing experience, you will find 35 different routes. Two of the routes are even 80 metres long!

The 500 m long climb is perfectly secured with 1.000 m of steel cable and it is rated at medium difficulty (A – B – in some places B/C). Nevertheless, the last part of the via ferrata, the so-called Angel’s edge, presents a very impressive rock passage.

Due to the nature of the new via ferrata, the climb can be a bit of an adventure for less experienced mountaineers as well as mountaineering families with children who like walking and climbing. The minimum recommended height is 1.50 m.
