Hoher Steg Klettersteig is a challenging via ferrata located in the Höllental gorge near Ramsau am Dachstein, Austria. Graded D/E, it demands solid experience and strength. The route ascends a near-vertical rock face, offering exposed traverses, steep ladders, and demanding cable sections. The constant verticality and minimal natural footholds require significant arm strength to pull oneself up and along the cable. The views over the gorge and the surrounding mountains are breathtaking, providing a rewarding experience for those who are physically and mentally prepared for the challenge. A slip or fall could have serious consequences, so proper equipment, experience, and a calm head are essential. The descent typically involves hiking back down the valley, which can be tiring after the climb.
