Description

Characteristics

Ferrata Gjaidstein is a very beautiful and easy via ferrata on the Dachteinstein massif near the cable car. Rather, it is a ridge trail that is secured by ropes. The path is well marked and leads through a distinctive ridge. The hardest sections are of difficulty A/B, otherwise the whole ferrata is of difficulty A. Despite the low difficulty, we highly recommend equipment, as wet limestone is very slippery and there is a risk of injury. On the top of Hoher Gjaidstein there is a top cross and a nice view of the neighboring Hoher Dachstein, Koppenkarstein and the lakes north.

Arrival

* By car - Take the A10 motorway to Altenmarkt, Schladming and Ramsau am Dachstein. Approximately 2km west of the village (road L711), a toll road (Dachsteinstrasse) leads to the lower station of the Dachstein Südwandbahn car park. When you use the cable car you do not have to pay the toll.

* By public transport: by train to Schladming and by bus via Ramsau to Gletscherbahn - get off at the mountain station.

Approach

From the upper station of the cable car, descend to the start of the ferrata.

Exit
