via ferrata Holzer to the Ifinger Peak – Merano and Environs

Dates: on request
Price: per person: 110 €
Number of participants: min. 3

A spectacular climb along a via ferrata to the Ifinger/Ivigna Peak.

This 500 m long climb is perfectly secured with 1000 m of steel cable. The difficulty are medium (A – B – in some places B/C). And is suitable for the less strong alpinists or for families with enthusiastic young climbers (10 years and older).

Total climbing time: 4 hours, difficulty: medium

We need an early start, alpine experience and a good overall physical condition is a prerequisite for the ascent of the climbing route.
Along the ascent, there is no water and no escape routes. A withdrawal is possible only by down-climbing.
The via ferrata is fully secured with a steel cable and no passages have to be dealt with in unsecured terrain or by free climbing. Many steep and difficult sections have been mitigated with steel clamps, which function as steps.

Nevertheless, the last part of the via ferrata, the so-called Angel’s edge, presents a very impressive rock passage.

The orientation of the via ferrata to the southwest allows for an early ascent of the route, and the climbing season extends well into late autumn.
The experienced mountaineer will even be able to access the via ferrata during many winter months without snow.
