Nice approach from Pointen without cable car assistance up to the via ferrata. The via ferrata (C/D) through the north face of the Kitzbüheler Horn features steep vertical sections and airy traverses. From the summit, there is a wonderful panoramic view of the Kaiser mountains, the Loferer Steinberge, and towards the south, the three-thousand-meter peaks.

Großer Galtenberg by Michael

wunderschöne Tour mit grandioser Aussicht. Der Grat zwischen großem und kleinem Galtenberg ist schwer, der Rest tendenziell einfacher und schneller zu machen als angegeben.
