Via ferrata
The via ferrata begins in the "Belly of the Giant Thyrsus" and leads through the mountain. It then continues into the airy main wall, which runs close to the mountain railway gondola. Following a varied line with short ascents and traverses, the route continues to the Latschengasse and finally to the "Thyrsus-Blick", a prominent rest and viewpoint.
After the first section, there is an option to exit via a partly rope-secured path into the Reither Kar. From there, you can descend or hike back to the mountain station of the Rosshütte.
Those continuing will start the second part of the via ferrata in the area of the "Rastbank". This leads across the northeast flank of the Härmelekopf with short, airy ascents in the rock face. Technically, the tour remains in the B to C range, with a short, more strenuous passage in the middle section.
