The Imst VIA FERRATA

- Difficulty difficult to very difficult
- Climbing time 2.5 hours

The Imst via ferrata is among the most attractive of its kind in the Tyrol. Equipped with steps and climbing aids, it leads into the midst of high alpine climbing bliss on the Maldonkopf at 2,632m altitude, in the immediate vicinity of the Imster Bergbahnen lifts.

This modern, short via ferrata is located very close to the Muttekopf hut. With appropriate security measures, it is also suitable for families, children, young people and beginners. Short, but with all the trimmings! The best comes at the end: the reward in the form of homemade dumplings, Schlipfkrapfen (stuffed pasta) or innards at the "Mutte".
Climbing on 365 days a year
Just like the spectacular and well-developed via ferratas, rock climbing is an absolute highlight for the young and old in the Tyrol. The Hoch-Imst climbing region is known not only for its great number of talented athletes in the field of competitive climbing, but also bouldering is popular. A total of four indoor climbing centres await you in rainy weather and in the winter. The Hoch-Imst region can justifiably call itself a year-round climbing destination.
