Roen-Klettersteig

The Roen-Klettersteig, graded B, offers a fantastic introduction to the world of via ferratas, set amidst the stunning landscapes of South Tyrol. Located near the Mendel Pass, this Klettersteig leads towards the summit of Monte Roen (or provides an exciting alternative path to it).

Despite its relatively easy 'B' grading, meaning it's generally well-secured with steel cables and occasional ladders, it's far from boring. Climbers will encounter some steeper sections, exposed traverses, and rocky terrain that still demand sure-footedness and a good head for heights. It's an ideal route for beginners looking to gain experience, or for those seeking a less technical but highly scenic adventure.

The true highlight of the Roen-Klettersteig is undoubtedly the panoramic views. As you ascend, the vista opens up dramatically, offering breathtaking outlooks over the expansive Etsch Valley (Adige Valley), the surrounding mountain ranges, and the picturesque villages below. The exposure, while manageable, adds to the thrill, making each step rewarding.

Completing the Roen-Klettersteig is a truly enjoyable experience, combining the physical challenge of climbing with the unparalleled beauty of the alpine environment. It's a memorable half-day adventure perfect for families or anyone wanting to taste Klettersteig climbing without extreme difficulty.
