Climbing the Steinsee - Klettersteig, graded B/C, is a fantastic experience nestled in the stunning Austrian Alps. Its B/C grading makes it an ideal route for beginners with some prior experience, or for families looking for a moderate challenge. While not overly exposed or physically demanding, it still requires proper via ferrata equipment (helmet, harness, via ferrata set).
The ascent itself is incredibly scenic, leading through varied terrain secured by steel ropes, pegs, and occasional ladders. You'll traverse rock faces, ascend short vertical sections, all while being constantly rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding alpine landscape. The ultimate reward is reaching the beautiful Steinsee, a pristine mountain lake nestled amidst the peaks, perfect for a well-deserved break or picnic. This Klettersteig offers an accessible yet exhilarating mountain adventure, combining the thrill of climbing with the tranquility of nature.
