The Mittenwalder Höhenweg via ferrata (A/B) could be better described as a secured high-altitude trail. It leads from the Karwendel cable car to the Brunnsteinhütte in a magnificent Karwendel setting and then back down into the valley.

On the western Karwendel ridge, high above the Olympiaregion Seefeld, a rewarding iron path has been built directly to the summit of the Seefelder Spitze. Quickly accessible – from the final station of the funicular – the steel cable ascends along longer vertical passages in the area of the west ridge to the 2221-meter-high summit cross.

More a secured high trail than a via ferrata in a great Karwendel environment. Suitable for beginners in via ferrata who are free from dizziness and have some mountain experience. The via ferrata difficulties are manageable (max. B), but some places are very exposed. Since the long descent via the Brunnsteinhütte has to be managed, a certain level of fitness should be brought along.

Also man muss verdammt aufpassen es wird angeschrieben das man 2,5 h braucht aber es sind mindestens doppelt so viel. Wir sind nicht gerade schlecht und haben 5,5 h gebraucht. Lasst euch von den Schildern nicht beirren.
