The Drachenwand via ferrata in the Salzburg area, offers stunning views of the Mondsee lake. The ferrata is rated C (Difficult) and should not be underestimated due to the length (almost 400 metres of climbing) and exposed passages. While the ascent is quick and easy, the descent is rather long and has some exposed passages where “there is no room for mistakes”, so you should have some energy reserves left after the ferrata. Steady footing and a head for heights, as well as good condition and endurance in your arms and legs is required.

We will drive out from Vienna early in the morning and come back on the same day, so I am hoping that we can share the driving (3 hours one way). Our lunch break will be picnic-style, either at the summit or down by the lake, but in any case you should bring your own provisions.
In case of bad weather, the event may be shifted to Saturday or to another weekend.
Pre-requisite: Highly experienced and confident on ferratas with a high level of difficulty - C ferratas should be a breeze for you! For this event, I will only be taking people I know, to be certain that everyone has the required technical skills and condition.
