Family via ferrata Partnunblick

Access

From the Tilisuna Hut, follow the signpost toward Partnun. The marked hiking trail leads over the Tilisunafürkele and continues toward the Carschina Hut. Just above Lake Partnun, the signposted approach trail to the family via ferrata branches off. You should allow about 1.5 hours for the approach.

Route Description

The via ferrata follows a technically easy route through the rock face. The sections do not exceed difficulty level A/B and are therefore well-suited for first-time via ferrata climbers. From the route, you’ll enjoy frequent unobstructed views of Lake Partnun and the surrounding mountains.

Descent

From the exit, follow the marked hiking trail toward the Carschina Hut. After about 15 minutes, you’ll reach the area near the start of the via ferrata again. A signpost then marks the return route to the Tilisuna Hut. This follows the same route back over the Tilisunafürkele as the ascent. A short detour to Lake Partnun can easily be incorporated into the return trip.

Getting to the Starting Point

We recommend Latschau as the starting point for the approach to the via ferrata. Please note that the approach to the Tilisuna Hut takes several hours.

By public transportation:

The Montafon regional bus and the Montafonerbahn railway offer a convenient and flexible way to get around the valley. Trains and buses run regularly between the towns, every half hour or every hour depending on the route. You can find the right connection here. Bus stop at the start/end of this tour: Latschau Golmerbahn

By car:

Take the A14 to the Bludenz/Montafon exit, then follow the Montafonerstraße L188 to Tschagguns and continue on to Latschau to the Latschau hiking parking lot (fee applies).

You climb the via ferrata at your own risk and on your own responsibility. Please check the weather, current conditions, snow conditions, and difficulty level in advance. Realistically assess your experience, surefootedness, ability to handle heights, and physical fitness.

A complete set of standard-compliant via ferrata equipment is absolutely essential. This includes a hip belt, via ferrata set, helmet, and gloves. Equally important is appropriate footwear: sturdy, ankle-high hiking boots with good traction.

Your backpack should also include plenty of food, sun and rain protection, and a first-aid kit.

In the Montafon, you can rent high-quality via ferrata equipment at select sports shops. Please check in advance regarding availability, sizes, and reservation options.

The family via ferrata was designed specifically for children, families, and beginners, and does not exceed difficulty level A/B. Nevertheless, sure-footedness, a head for heights, and a complete set of via ferrata gear are required.

This tour is especially enjoyable when combined with an overnight stay at the Tilisuna Hut. That way, you can take the approach at a leisurely pace and spread the mountain experience over two days.

The approach to the Tilisuna Hut can also be done as a bike-and-hike tour.
