Characteristics

The redeveloped Panoramasteig via ferrata is one of the best circular tours in the Lienz Dolomites. The tour is a beautiful ridge climb over six "peaks", at the end you descend via the Ari-Schübel-Steig to the Scharten-Schartl. The Ari-Schübel and Gebirgsjägersteig can of course also be used as independent climbs to the Große Sandspitze. The panoramic via ferrata begins under the Roter Turm, this exposed ridge climb is more for experienced walkers. These will be rewarded with a perfect view from the highest peak in the Lienz Dolomites!
