The Trafoi-Klettersteig (grade C) is a fantastic via ferrata in the Ortler Alps of South Tyrol, Italy. While not overly strenuous in terms of pure physicality, it demands a good head for heights and solid experience on exposed terrain. The 'C' rating indicates that there are some sections requiring moderate arm strength to pull yourself up, especially on vertical or slightly overhanging walls. The route is well-maintained with excellent cable and ladder placements, making it feel secure despite the exposure. The views throughout the climb are breathtaking, offering panoramic perspectives of the surrounding mountains, including the iconic Ortler itself. The descent, often via a marked trail, can be equally challenging depending on the route chosen, requiring careful footing and attention. Overall, the Trafoi-Klettersteig is a rewarding climb for experienced via ferrata enthusiasts looking for a thrilling adventure with stunning scenery.
