Via Bella

Climbing "Via Bella" in Nockberge is a rewarding experience for intermediate climbers. This multi-pitch route, typically graded around 6/6+ (UIAA), offers a mix of slab climbing, vertical sections, and enjoyable exposure. The rock quality is generally good, providing solid holds, but as with any alpine climb, some loose rock may be encountered. The views from the route are stunning, encompassing the rolling hills and forests of the Nockberge Biosphere Reserve. Be prepared for alpine conditions, as weather can change quickly. A standard rack with quickdraws, slings, and a rope of at least 60 meters is recommended. Careful route finding is essential, and a topo is highly advised. While not an overly strenuous climb, "Via Bella" demands confident movement on rock and the ability to manage multi-pitch transitions efficiently. Overall, it's a great choice for climbers looking to test their skills in a beautiful alpine setting.
