Sturmsteig

Climbing the Sturmsteig (Grade 2+) in the Gutenstein Alps is a rewarding experience for beginner to intermediate climbers. This *Klettersteig* offers a fantastic introduction to via ferrata climbing, combining exposed sections with relatively straightforward climbing. The route meanders up the rocky face, providing stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Gutenstein Alps. Expect a mix of iron rungs, ladders, and natural rock holds. While not overly strenuous, the exposure requires a good head for heights and a secure footing. Proper via ferrata equipment, including a helmet, harness, and via ferrata lanyard, is essential. Be sure to check the weather forecast before heading out, as rain or ice can make the climb significantly more challenging and dangerous. The descent is typically a well-marked hiking trail, allowing you to soak in the scenery after your ascent. Overall, Sturmsteig is a perfect climb for those looking to test their skills and experience the thrill of via ferrata climbing in a beautiful alpine setting.
