Taking the vertical approach
Climbing vacation in Tux
Via ferrata is enjoying a moment among mountain climbers right now, and the “fever” has spread here to the lovely Zillertal as well. The sport involves metal lines and iron pins hammered permanently into cliffsides, allowing hikers — with the right equipment, of course — to extend their forays into the world of the vertical. The routes are rated for difficulty, from A (easy) to E (extremely hard). A variety of via ferrata have been set up within a 25-km radius, promising plenty of adventure.
