A beautiful, alpine via ferrata on the south side of the Köllenspitze - the route has class! Not only the difficulties, which are more in the upper range with passages up to difficulty level D, distinguish this Ferrata. The mix of a longer ascent, great, difficult sport via ferrata and alpine tricky descent make for the perfect adventure via ferrata day. On the summit you have both the rugged peaks of the Alps in the south and a wonderful view over the Tannheimer Tal.

The access is via the Gimpelhaus. From there continue in the direction of Rote Flüh until you turn right after the Gimpelalpe to the Nesselwängler Scharte. Immediately before the Scharte, turn right to the foot of the Köllenspitze south face (red dot markings, at the end in the gravel field it is better to put on your helmet).

The via ferrata itself is in difficulty level D, but also has passages with A and B. There are two rest areas but no possibility to get off.

Descent: From the summit first north on climbing tracks into a channel, then descend left (west) in the channel until you reach a steep step (rope belay; C/D). Continue down in the gully until you cross a crag on the left and ascend again through a gully. Behind the edge, descend over partly steep gravel terrain (passages 1-) to the Nesselwängler Scharte (2007 m). There again on the south side and on the access path back to the valley.

Attention: The descent is alpine! Climbing spots up to 1, partly exposed and brittle. Dangerous in snowy and wet conditions (the snow lasts quite long on the north side in spring, ask the Gimpelhaus or the Tannheimer Hütte for information about the conditions). Long via ferrata tour which should only be done in stable weather.
