FAMILY VIA FERRATA – NATURNO – Merano surroundings

The training-and family via ferrata“KNOTT” is located on the rock outcrop upon which a skywalk is anchored. There is a magnificent view from the observation deck onto the individual routes and the climbers.

Starting point:
cable car Unterstell at Naturno close to Merano South Tyrol www.unterstell.it

There are a total of four via ferrata routes on the rock called the “KNOTT”; one short connector route, a 20 m long suspended bridge and two steep ladders.

Here it is possible to climb and train for as long as anyone desires.
There are simple routes, difficult passages, exposed tracks and technical sections. It is accessible any and every time of day, because the access and the descent are short.
