Tourbeschreibung

Very long, exposed via ferrata with high demands on strength and endurance, rewarded with breathtaking views downwards.

Approach

Take the A14 to the Dalaas exit and briefly drive back on the federal road L97 toward Bludenz. After about 1.5 kilometers you reach the new via ferrata parking lot directly on the road.

Public transport

Just leave your car parked

The regional buses run throughout the Montafon. The main lines run every half hour from Schruns station.

First you must take the S4/Montafonerbahn to Bludenz and then transfer to the regional bus line 90.

Bus stop at the start/finish of the route: Dalaas Gasthaus Krone/ Line 90

Timetable: www.vmobil.at

Arrival by train to Montafon

From Bludenz station the Montafon railway runs hourly (sometimes half-hourly). There are also direct connections from Lindau (D) and from Bregenz.

Parking

Directions

Park in the parking lot directly on the Arlberg Expressway and follow the valley road for about 100 meters. Now go through the gate in the game fence to your left, and from there follow the signs "to the via ferrata." After 20 minutes you will reach the start of the via ferrata.

The via ferrata ascends with many C/D sections without much iron to the height.

For the descent, follow the worn path eastward through the forest, which is marked with large blue dots on the conifers, until you reach the streambed of the Fallbach (4 minutes). Continue on the forest path to the blue-white signposted trail from Dalaas to Küngs Maisäß. Here turn left and hike comfortably down in 25 minutes. From here, the path becomes somewhat wider and partially developed until you reach a gorge of the Rotrüfetobel. Above its left side, it gets narrow in some places, where a short metal ladder, iron steps, a hand cable on the rock, and plank steps help you over a steep rock passage. The now wider hiking trail leads down from the forest to the hillside clearing, at the lower left end of which stands the house of the shooting club. The hiking trail ends at the forest road that leads to the trail sign Muß (45 minutes).

Equipment

Complete climbing equipment (harness including via ferrata set, helmet, and gloves) as well as proper footwear (sturdy ankle-high mountain boots with good tread) are absolutely necessary.

You should also always have a backpack with food, sun or rain protection, and a first aid kit.

For the descent, I recommend taking a pair of poles with you.

Tips

Since the via ferrata has several smooth rock passages, it is not recommended when wet. The via ferrata has no emergency exit.
