Cellonstollen - Klettersteig

The Cellonstollen Klettersteig, located in the majestic Carnic Alps, is a captivating via ferrata graded B. This moderately difficult route is an excellent choice for climbers seeking an engaging yet manageable experience. As a Grade B Klettersteig, you'll navigate secure steel cables, sturdy iron pins (staples), and some short ladders. While there are moderately steep sections and a good sense of exposure, the abundant artificial aids make it accessible and suitable for well-equipped beginners with a head for heights.

Its defining feature is the historical 'Stollen' (tunnel or mine shaft) – a remnant of World War I – that you pass through. This unique element adds an atmospheric and historical dimension to the climb. The ascent offers fantastic panoramic views of the surrounding alpine landscape, making it a truly rewarding experience.

The return typically follows a well-marked hiking path, completing a pleasant circular route. The Cellonstollen Klettersteig is highly recommended as a great introduction to via ferratas or a thoroughly enjoyable day out for those looking for a scenic and moderately challenging adventure.
