Description

Update information

Characteristics

A long ridge ferrata that leads above the Gosau glacier near Adamek Hütte. Ferrata begins with climbing passages of difficulty B, C to C/D and continues to the beautiful peak ridge, which leads to the very top - Hohes Kreuz 2837m. Not many ferratas end up at such an altitude. Views of the surrounding landscape are amazing! Descend via the road to Adamek Hütte (4h) or Simonyhütte (2h). For lovers of alpine ferratas it is definitely one of the most beautiful ferratas in Austria.

Arrival
