Route

Adventure Via Ferrata Gemmi:

The adventure via ferrata is located at the historic Gemmi Pass, under the arrival station of the Gemmi facilities, at about 2300 meters above sea level. The new course does not quite match that of a usual via ferrata, because it also contains several elements of an adventure park in the trees. The route is 800 meters horizontally under the Wildstrubel mountain restaurant and the Gemmi ski lift station. Many amenities await visitors to chill. The main attractions are certainly the 65 meter long suspension bridge or the 20 meter high rotating ladder, turning at 540 °.
