Gorfenspitze via ferrata

The Gorfenpitze via ferrata route is an easy, short via ferrata route that proceeds beneath the impressive Gorfenspitze via ledges and a platform up to the summit.

The via ferrata to the Gorfenspitze is more of a challenging mountain path with some via ferrata elements below the peak. The tour starts in Galtür and follows a marked hiking trail through steep grass and rocky areas, requiring sure-footedness. The via ferrata sections are short and have difficulties from A to B. Although partially secured with steel cables in the upper part, the route is technically less demanding in the lower areas, making it a good option for less experienced via ferrata climbers.

Thanks to its excellent connection, getting to Galtür by train or bus is a comfortable alternative to travelling by car. Buy a train ticket to Landeck-Zams and take Bus No. 260 towards Paznaun, which departs directly in front of the train station. The drive to Galtür takes about one hour.

Proceed through Paznaun to Galtür. Before the Jambach, turn off for Jamtal. After 100 metres, there is a car park for hikers on the left hand side of the road. The parking machines do not operate in the summer months.
