The 'Rettenkogel - Steig' (Grade A) is a superb example of a very easy mountain path, often described more as a secured hiking trail than a climbing route. Graded 'A' on the Klettersteig scale, it signifies minimal technical difficulty. You can expect gentle ascents, possibly with fixed ropes for handholds or minor security in slightly steeper or exposed sections, but no demanding climbing moves. It's perfectly suited for beginners, families, or anyone looking for a scenic and accessible mountain experience without specialized climbing skills or extensive gear. The reward is often breathtaking panoramic views from the Rettenkogel summit, making it a fantastic introduction to alpine environments.
