Via Ferrata in Wetterstein Mountains (Bavaria)

8 ferratas
A/B–D/E grades

The Wetterstein is a limestone range of the Northern Limestone Alps on the Austria–Germany border between Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Mittenwald, Seefeld and Ehrwald. The highest peak is the Zugspitze (2,962 m), Germany's highest mountain; the Bavarian Zugspitze Railway runs from Garmisch to the Zugspitzplatt. A popular objective is the Alpspitze, linked with the Zugspitze by the Jubiläumsgrat ridge.

The range has several via ferratas – the Alpspitz-Ferrata, the Mathaisenkar-Ferrata and the protected Höllental route on the Zugspitze; the Höllental gorge itself can also be hiked in a day. Expect high-alpine terrain and fast weather changes.
