Schleinitz - Klettersteig

Climbing the Schleinitz Klettersteig (Grade B/C):

The Schleinitz Klettersteig, nestled in the picturesque Styrian Alps, offers a delightful and moderately challenging via ferrata experience graded B/C. This makes it an ideal choice for beginners looking to advance, families with older children, or anyone seeking a scenic day out without extreme difficulty. The route is exceptionally well-secured with steel ropes and artificial aids, ensuring a safe ascent. While primarily in the B grade, a few sections might touch C, providing just enough thrill without being overwhelming. As you ascend, you're treated to increasingly spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the idyllic Gaal valley. The klettersteig itself is relatively short but rewarding, often combined with a pleasant hike to the summit of Schleinitz. Proper via ferrata equipment (helmet, harness, via ferrata set) is essential. It's a wonderful way to experience the beauty of the region from a new perspective.
