Climbing the Mathaisenkar-Klettersteig (grade B/C) is a truly exhilarating experience in the stunning Höllental region of the Rax massif. This via ferrata offers a fantastic blend of challenging sections and breathtaking panoramic views. The route starts relatively gently, allowing you to warm up, but quickly transitions into more exposed and vertical sections, especially where it approaches the higher grade C. You'll navigate steep rock faces secured by sturdy steel ropes, climb ladders, and traverse thrilling passages. The constant presence of the deep valley below adds to the excitement and demands a good head for heights. Physically, it requires a decent level of arm and leg strength, as well as stamina. Mentally, staying focused and trusting your gear is key. Each step upwards brings you closer to incredible vistas overlooking the dramatic Höllental and the surrounding peaks. Reaching the top feels like a significant achievement, rewarded by the expansive views. The descent typically involves a scenic hike, allowing you to reflect on the climb. Mathaisenkar-Klettersteig is highly recommended for climbers with some via ferrata experience who are looking for a moderately challenging and immensely rewarding alpine adventure.
