    Safety information

    FAIR PLAY & RESPECT:

    Care for nature – landowners – your health... and safety in the mountains have the highest priority during your route/your mountain sports experience and the associated route planning!

    Therefore, before each via ferrata experience inform yourself about the rules of conduct - mountain safety - as well as the current weather conditions.

    Waste is not always avoidable - but it has no place in nature and must be properly disposed of (preferably in the valley or at home).

    European emergency number: 112 (accessible from any available network)

    Mountain rescue Austria: 140

    Roadbook

    Approach:

    Opposite the Caserma (old customs building) on B 90 Nassfeldstraße towards Pontebba, follow the forest road to Winkelalm. From there continue straight into a sparse larch forest. The via ferrata starts over a block cirque at the foot of a gorge. The Enrico Contin via ferrata initially leads through a gorge to the saddle between Winkelturm and Rosskofel. There the route turns left. After a section of walking terrain follow the next secured parts to the right of the ridge. Secured sections alternate with walking terrain. An old step peg and a steep section follow until you shortly reach the exit (sign). After joining the normal route continue left to the Rosskofel summit.

    Descent: 

    You can also briefly follow the ascent route and then at the fork choose the normal route 4/4. Turn left and cross the north faces. Then you reach Rudnigsattel. Now along the Carnic ridgeway towards Aqua Trail and up to Madritschen or the easy descent to Nassfeld Pass.
