Characteristics
The beautiful family via ferrata in the bedrock is also fun for adults. In addition to a short rope bridge, it offers varied climbing passages and a great view of the magnificent mountains of the Silvretta. If you look down into the valley, you can see the Paznaun to Ischgl. Since the via ferrata is only a few minutes away from the top station of the Birkhahnbahn and the difficulties never exceed grade B, the tour is perfect for children from 8 years in dry conditions. The handling of the via ferrata set should be mastered safely, because due to the many crossings, effective securing with the rope is tedious.
Arrival
On the A12 to Landeck, then on the B 188 through the Paznauntal to Galtür. Approx. 2 km after Galtür is Weiler Wirl - park there at the valley station of the Birkhahnbahn. With the chairlift to the mountain station.
For the alternative foot ascent (30 minutes longer), follow the road towards Bielerhöhe and turn right just before the toll booth to Kops-Speicher. Approx. 2 km after the junction, a gravel path branches off to the left, which shortly leads to a paid parking lot.
By public transport: by train to Landeck and then by bus (line 4240) to Galtür Wirl.

From the mountain station of the Birkhahnbahn, follow the path marked with red wooden pegs in a southern direction, crossing the slope, and shortly to the entrance at 2060 m.

From the exit, follow the path marked with red wooden pegs in a northwest direction. Cross the steep ski slopes and descend steeply to the mountain station of the Birkhahnbahn.
Interesting facts
