Via Ferrata Schwärzenkamm

Surrounded by peaks of 3.000m altitude, right at the end of the Ötztal, you will find the via ferrata Schwärzenkamm. We will get there after a 2,5h ascent, passing the Schönwieshütte, the Gurgler Alm and the Langtalereckhütte. After a little break on the hut, we will continue our ascent to the entry point of the via ferrata.
