Tour description
Challenging via ferrata in Silvretta gneiss on the scenic border mountain between Tirol and Vorarlberg, which is well secured and equipped with grip clamps or footholds where necessary.
This via ferrata scores with a great route through solid Silvretta gneiss, allowing you magnificent deep views of the Kops reservoir and a panorama far beyond the summits of Verwall and Silvretta. After a demanding climb through the northwest face of the 2,671 meter high Ballunspitze, you reach the summit of this scenic border mountain between Tirol and Vorarlberg.
Access: Take the Alpkogel cable car or park in the paid parking lot at the Ballunspitz cable car. From the top station of the Alpkogel cable car, follow the marked path towards “Klettersteig Silvapark” to the entry.
Descent: The descent follows the trail tracks northwestwards downhill from the summit. Some parts are secured with footholds and clamps to assist with the descent. At about 2,250 meters you will meet the access path again, which leads back to the Alpkogel cable car top station.
