Arlberg via ferrata

After a few metres, the 1st tower already has a key section - a vertical descent of 20 metres. Around the 2nd tower you can recover again before the big climb up to the 2,680-metre Knoppenjochspitze. This is the key section of the via ferrata, in almost vertical but still well-structured rock. After the descent from the summit of the Knoppenjochspitze, it is an easy climb to the summit of the Lorfekopf (2,689 m). The descent is somewhat difficult. Those who do not want to do the full length of the via ferrata can now descend from the Lorfescharte and hike comfortably to Kapall. If you are fit enough and want to continue, go up to the Lisunspitze (2,667 m) and over the Lisungrat (2,684 m). There and at the "Haizähnen" (shark's teeth), you walk over airy spikes and towers. After the "Haizähnen" you can recover a little until the tour leads to the highest point, the Weißschrofenspitze (2,752 m). You can now enjoy the magnificent view down into the Almjurtal valley or the panorama of the Allgäu Alps on the left and the beautiful ski slopes of St. Anton on the right. After a short rest, descend via the south ridge - a medium-steep descent - to Kapall.
