Access
The approach is via the Hochjoch Bahn and then along hiking trail 4, the “Seetalweg,” toward Seetalhüsli. Alternatively, you can reach Kälbersee from the Sennigrat Bahn mountain station in about 15 minutes on foot.
The starting point is the Seetalhüsli. From there, you have a good view of the various routes on the rock face near Kälbersee. The entry point is on the left side of the rock face. The beginner’s route (difficulty A) starts at Seetalhüsli and heads toward the Sennigrat Bahn mountain station. The entry points for variants B, C, and D are easily accessible via the approach trail.
Directions
The Kälbersee practice via ferrata is idyllically situated among the mountain lakes at Hochjoch and is ideal for practicing via ferrata, mastering belay techniques, and better assessing your own abilities.
Depending on your experience, you can choose from several variants: The easier Route A is particularly suitable for beginners, while Variants B, C, and D become progressively more challenging. The more difficult routes require sure-footedness, strength, and precise climbing on the rock.
Descent
From the exit, follow the trail further up to the small summit. On the backside, a flat path leads down to the ski slope and back to the Wormser Hut. From there, you can walk or take the Sennigrat Bahn back to the Hochjoch Bahn mountain station.
Alternatively, you can return along Route A. Please be considerate of oncoming via ferrata climbers.
