Stopselzieher Klettersteig Zugspitze Westweg

The 'Stopselzieher Klettersteig' on the Zugspitze Westweg, graded A/B, offers a fantastic introduction to the world of via ferratas, or a delightful experience for those seeking a less demanding but incredibly scenic mountain adventure. As one of the easier routes on the iconic Zugspitze massif, it's perfectly suited for beginners, families, or anyone looking for a well-protected and enjoyable climb.

Despite its 'easy' grading, the route provides a thrilling sense of exposure, yet it's always meticulously secured with robust steel cables, ladders, and artificial steps, making it very safe and accessible. The ascent treats you to breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Wetterstein Mountains and the sprawling valleys below, offering unforgettable photo opportunities.

It's a wonderful way to experience the grandeur of the Zugspitze's western flank without the extreme technical demands of more difficult routes. Essential via ferrata equipment (helmet, harness, and via ferrata set) is, of course, necessary for safety.
