Via Ferrata Marathon, Großes Höllental - Rax
Date :
Sat 26.04.2025
Registration starts :
2025-04-11
Registration until :
2025-04-23
Type of event :
Klettersteig (Via Ferrata)
Organized by :
Alen Siljak
Description :

Technically easy (B, UIAA 1) but physically exhausting Klettersteig marathon in the Großes Höllental valley at Rax. One of the most beautiful and picturesque valleys in Lower Austria. The tour includes four ferrata routes and should last around 8 hours. See topo below. Since it is spring, we will skip the Hoyoschsteig.

You are expected to be very fit and have decent technical skills. The tour is rather exhausting even for experienced mountaineers and the breaks are very few and far between.
There will be only one intermediate exit point, right after the first Klettersteig.

The tour will take place only if the weather forecast is good for the whole day.
The organizer reserves the right to accept only the participants who can demonstrate the physical abilities expected for the tour.

BYO food and drinks for the whole day. We will likely not have time for dining at the Weichtalhaus.
