Neuer Zachersteig

Climbing the 'Neuer Zachersteig' in the Gutenstein Alps is a rewarding experience for climbers comfortable with grade 4 scrambling and exposed terrain. This via ferrata, while not overly difficult in terms of pure climbing skill, demands a head for heights and sure footing. The route winds its way up the rock face, offering stunning views of the surrounding alpine landscape. Expect plenty of airy traverses, some steep sections where you'll need to pull yourself up, and the occasional exposure that will get your adrenaline pumping. Proper via ferrata equipment, including a helmet, harness, and via ferrata set, is absolutely essential. Even in good weather, conditions can change rapidly in the mountains, so be prepared for potential rain or wind. The 'Neuer Zachersteig' is a great introduction to more challenging via ferratas, providing a taste of adventure with manageable difficulty, as long as you approach it with respect and preparation.
