Peternpfad

The Peternpfad (grade 5+) on the Breitwand is widely regarded as a classic multi-pitch climbing route, offering a fantastic blend of moderate difficulty and breathtaking alpine scenery. Located on the impressive Breitwand, the route typically presents solid limestone rock with varied climbing, ranging from exposed slabs to intriguing cracks and short chimneys.

Ascending the Peternpfad is an immersive experience. Each of its numerous pitches unveils new perspectives, with increasingly panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and peaks. While the 5+ grade might sound accessible, the sustained nature of the climbing, combined with significant exposure in certain sections, demands good technique, confidence, and efficient rope work. It's a route where every move feels purposeful, leading you higher into the impressive rock face.

Reaching the top, after navigating the challenging yet rewarding pitches, brings an immense sense of accomplishment. The feeling of freedom and the expansive vista from the summit are truly unforgettable. The descent, whether by a well-marked hiking path or a series of abseils, smoothly concludes a memorable day out. The Peternpfad is an absolute must-do for any climber looking for a quintessential Alpine multi-pitch adventure.
