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.

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.

The Mittenwald via ferrata is probably one of the most beautiful mountain tours in Alpenwelt Karwendel. It follows the ridge between the mountain station of the Karwendelbahn (2244 m) and the Brunnsteinspitze (2179 m). With magnificent panoramic views, it leads over a total of seven two-thousand-metre peaks in the Karwendel mountains.

Sehr schöne Tour. Der Abstieg nach Mittenwald zieht sich. Sonnenschutz und ausreichend Wasser dringlichst empfohlen.
