Climbing the Austria Steig (grade 4) on the Hohe Wand is a rewarding experience offering stunning views and a good physical challenge. The via ferrata is well-maintained, but requires a solid understanding of via ferrata techniques and equipment. Expect exposed sections and some steeper climbs, demanding confidence and a good head for heights. The rock is generally solid, providing secure holds.
