Arrival by public transport
By train to Sonthofen, Pfronten/Ried, or Reutte, then continue by bus to Tannheim.
The via ferrata to Lachenspitze (2,123 m) in the Tannheimer Tal is a varied, mostly exposed route with a difficulty level of C/D. It leads over the southeast flank and offers fantastic views down to the turquoise-blue Lachesee. The route is very well secured and exposed – perfect for sure-footed and fearless climbers seeking an alpine experience.
Mountaineering inherently carries an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Even with careful planning, a residual risk remains. Good preparation through endurance training, technical practice, further education, and careful behavior can reduce the risk of accidents. Weather changes often occur very quickly in the mountains and should always be taken into account. It is recommended to stay on marked trails.
Personal mountaineering equipment must be safe, serviceable, and conform to current technical standards. Every hiker is advised to inform themselves about the planned routes through alpine specialist literature or on site. Complete via ferrata equipment (via ferrata set, harness, and helmet) is strongly recommended even for experienced climbers!
The via ferrata is well signposted and also very well secured. It takes about 2 hours to climb the via ferrata. The via ferrata has no emergency exit and has some exposed passages. The difficulty level is C with a few D passages or level 3 (of 6). The descent is via the marked normal route back to the Landsberger Hütte. There you can also rent some via ferrata sets.
