Normalweg

Climbing the Normalweg (grade 3) on the Ratengrat is a fantastic alpine experience, suitable for climbers with some prior experience. The route typically involves scrambling, easy rock climbing (usually UIAA grade 3 or equivalent), and potentially some exposed sections. The Ratengrat itself is a dramatic ridge, offering stunning panoramic views across the surrounding mountains. While not requiring advanced technical climbing skills, climbers should be comfortable with heights, moving efficiently on exposed terrain, and have solid footwork. The route often includes sections where protection is limited, requiring confidence in one's own abilities. Weather conditions can change rapidly in the mountains, so careful planning and appropriate gear are essential. It's advisable to climb with a rope, harness, and appropriate protection gear, especially if you are not an experienced solo climber. Consider hiring a local mountain guide for an even safer and enriching experience.
