Vertical adventures
Are you looking for something more adventurous than hiking but don't want to stray from marked routes? Check out the via ferratas in the Innsbruck region. They lead over rocky terrain with climbing aids such as iron ladders or steel cables to hold on to. They often open up rough terrain while providing wonderful views of the mountains. The Innsbruck region is home to numerous via ferrata routes. You can find the difficulty level of each route and other important information in the detailed entries.
E-Bike & Hike - Via ferrata Wank
Beautiful, panoramic via ferrata in the Mieminger mountains, which runs mainly along the ridge, and where the approach can be shortened considerably with the help of an e-bike. The via ferrata leads in a varied way over the ridge from Stöttltörl (2,036m) up to Wankspitze (2,209m). All the spikes on the ridge are climbed over. The constant ups and downs require stamina and strength. The combination of a bike tour, a wonderful wild basin between Hölltörl, Grünsteinscharte and Stöttltör and a summit with a great view makes this route a worthwhile tour.
Arrival, public transport
You reach the starting point via the Inn Valley. At Telfs or Mötz, drive onto the Mieminger Plateau and continue through the village of Obsteig. After approx. 500 m turn right onto a forest road. After a few minutes' drive you will reach the Arzkasten car park, for which a charge is made.
