Kampenwand Steig - Klettersteig

The Kampenwand Steig, a Klettersteig (via ferrata) nestled in the scenic Chiemgau Alps of Bavaria, Germany, is renowned for its Grade A difficulty. This classification signifies an exceptionally easy route, making it perfect for beginners, families with older children, or anyone seeking a gentle introduction to secured climbing paths. It's less a challenging climb and more a well-protected hiking trail along a ridge.

The highlight of the Kampenwand Steig is undoubtedly the breathtaking panoramic views. As you traverse the relatively short and gently ascending path, you're treated to spectacular vistas of the surrounding Bavarian Alps and the shimmering expanse of Lake Chiemsee. The route features continuous steel cable security and occasional aids like rebar steps, but with minimal exposure and no demanding vertical sections. It's an excellent way to build confidence and enjoy the unique experience of a via ferrata in a safe and non-intimidating environment. While easy, standard via ferrata equipment (harness, via ferrata set, helmet) is still recommended for safety.
