Guffert Spitze Via Ferrata (Northern Ascent)
39.4kmLength

Circular
This mighty, high-alpine tour to the summit of the Guffert leads via the northern ascent and is an extremely demanding endeavour that requires expert fitness and alpine experience. This tour involves steep ascents and navigation on a steep, exposed mountain path. The ascent is mitigated by short, fixed wire-rope belays and includes sections of easy climbing that require absolute surefootedness. Due to the altitude, the lack of refreshment stops and the exposed nature of the ridge, hikers must meticulously plan this intensive mountain tour in the Rofan mountains.
