Character
This wonderful via ferrata amid the granite rocks of Sellrain, leads up to 2807-meter high Pockkogel peak. Due to its high altitude and the quite low temperatures an excellent physical shape is required. Truly breathtaking panoramic views await climbers at the end of the via ferrata.

Difficulty/equipment
The first section features already a very difficult part graded C+. Most parts of the second section are graded D. Please note that there are less step ladders but many natural foot and hand holds in the rock. Especially the last climbing efforts towards the summit and the northern wall are the undisputed highlight of this climbing tour. Equipment: helmet, climbing harness and complete via ferrata set, via ferrata gloves, appropriate shoes, hiking poles for the descent (optional).

Trail length and time required
Pitch length 750 m. 3 – 3.5 hours, both ways (incl. descent) approx. 4.5 – 5 hours. Descent via signposted hiking trail leading down to the ridge in south-western direction. Further on past Finstertaler Stausee water reservoir. At the dam you turn-off to the right towards Dreiseenhütte. From here you walk down to the village of Kühtai.

Take the lift and follow the signposts in direction Gaiskogl/ Klettersteig (via ferrata).
