    The Edelrid via ferrata on the Iseler (1,876 m) above Oberjoch is a modern, athletic route with varied sections at difficulty level BC. Highlights are airy traverses. The route is well secured and offers magnificent views down to Oberjoch and into the Ostrach valley.

    A classic "family via ferrata" in the medium difficulty range, where the "non-climbing" part of the family can comfortably ascend to the summit via the hiking trail - at the top they meet and together enjoy the fantastic view of the Allgäu and Tyrolean Alps.

    Author’s recommendation

    This via ferrata was newly built in 2009.

    Safety information

    Please note that mountain sports involve an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful route planning, there is always a basic risk. Preparation through endurance training, appropriate technical training and education, as well as personal prudence reduce the danger of accidents and risks. But never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly.
    Stay on the marked hiking paths.

    The starting point is the valley station of the Iselerbahn in Oberjoch. Take the lift comfortably up to the top station. From there, follow marked paths in about 30 minutes to the start. Those who skip the lift can hike up the normal path in about 1.5 hours.

    Descent

    From the exit of the via ferrata, follow the marked hiking trail along the Iseler ridge back to the top station of the Iselerbahn (about 45 minutes). From there, optionally take the lift or walk down to the valley.
