difficulty

The main part of the path can be done in four hours, a whole day should be planned for the entire tour. An early start in summer is advisable to avoid thunderstorms.

The via ferrata is generally not to be regarded as technically difficult, but a head for heights , surefootedness , alpine experience and via ferrata equipment are required. There are a large number of ladders and wire rope safety devices in the exposed areas. In an emergency, a bivouac box below the Sulzleklammspitze ( 2321  m above sea level ) offers protection from storms. The crossing below the Sulzleklammspitze after this bivouac box is very prone to falling rocks. Helmet and harness are definitely recommended here.
