A highlight – in the truest sense of the word: the legendary Alpspitz Ferrata.

That’s when you’ll fall hopelessly in love with the breathtaking beauty of this unique mountain scenery.
Equally as impressive: the Jubilee Arête for experienced alpinists.

And one thing’s for sure: There will be a lot of sweating – because the Jubiläumsgrat poses a challenge even for mountaineers with great physical fitness and lots of alpine experience!
