Climbing the 'Habicht-Steig' (graded A/B) offers a wonderfully accessible and scenic mountain experience. Ideal for beginners, families, or those new to via ferratas, this route primarily involves easy to moderately steep terrain. You'll navigate sections with fixed steel ropes for security, some gentle scrambling, and possibly a few short, easy ladders or steps. The A/B grading signifies that while it requires a basic level of fitness and sure-footedness, it's not overly exposed or technically demanding, making it perfect for building confidence in mountainous environments. The views along the Habicht-Steig are typically breathtaking, showcasing impressive alpine landscapes without the extreme challenges of higher-graded routes. After reaching the summit or the end of the secured section, the return usually follows a well-marked hiking trail, allowing for a relaxed descent back to the starting point, rounding off a rewarding day in the mountains.
