CLIMBING ROUTE "HOACHWOOL

Interesting and not to be underestimated: This is how this via ferrata in Naturno can be described. Here, with numerous exposed places, you must not suffer from fear of heights under any circumstances. Arm strength as well as foot technique are required. In return, you will be rewarded with magnificent views of a beautiful landscape. After about 4.5 hours you’ll reach your destination and have mastered one of the toughest via ferratas in the mountain paradise of South Tyrol. A great incentive, right?

MOUNTAINCARTS LAZAUN

FOR RACERS AND DOWNHILLERS

No desire to traipse back down the mountain? No problem – a rapid descent with the mountain carts (NEW since July 2019) is much cooler anyway. On 3 wheels and without any engine you whizz down into the valley: pure fun! Safety is of course guaranteed with the strong brakes and wide wheels. Start at the Lazaunhütte, right next to the mountain station of the Lazaun cable car, where you can also rent the carts directly.

Off to a fast-paced adventure! You’ve probably never been down this fast before … (July to end of September)
