Klettersteig Däumling

Thumbelina calls!This new via ferrata on the Nassfeld is a must for all ambitious mountain fans! The "Däumling" was opened in August 2014 and is located on the impressive Gartnerkofel massif. The insured via ferrata in difficulty level B/C (at two points C) has a length of approx. 500 metres. From the top station of the Gartnerkofel 4-seater chairlift a short hiking trail to the entry point can be covered. To reach the highest point of the "Däumling", 150 meters of altitude difference have to be overcome. From the path up to the roof of the rock tower the rock climbers have a great view of the Carnic and Julian Alps. Afterwards there is an ascent to the summit of the Gartnerkofel (approx. 20 min.).

Suggestion

An absolute highlight and fantastic panorama that no mountain fan should miss!

Equipment

Complete climbing equipment and helmet are necessary!

Directions

From Kötschach-Mauthen or Villach on the B111 through the Gailtal to Tröpolach. Then south on the B90 towards Nassfeldpass. Park at the valley station of the Gartnerkofel cable car (1412 m) and take the chairlift to the top station (1888 m). Follow the hiking trail towards Gartnerkofel and turn right at the first white scree slope before the top station of the short FIS chairlift to the via ferrata. There you will find a bench where you can rope up.
