Via Ferratas "Quarzit Wand Burg Laudeck" - Ladis
General Information
Test your climbing skills in Ladis! The rocks made of crystalline schist, on which the Laudeck Castle spectacularly stands, offer perfect conditions for adventurous days on the rock. The via ferratas “Quarzit Wall Laudeck” offer all climbing enthusiasts two short but exciting routes. They bear the striking names “Pons Laudes Steig” (red) and “Laudecksteig” (black). The difficulty levels of the via ferratas range from A to D. From summer 2025, the former blue route ("Via Claudia Augusta") will be used exclusively as the official descent for the two other via ferrata routes. Climbers are rewarded with a magnificent view of the Inntal valley below. The view of the mountain scenery on the opposite side of the valley, with Laudeck Castle and the Kaunertal, will also make any climber's heart soar.
Pons Laudes Steig (red)
The second moderately difficult via ferrata is called Laudes Steig. It runs parallel to the first route and is a little trickier. You need a good level of fitness to master two steep sections (level of difficulty: C). In addition, it provides fewer climbing aids to step/hold onto. However, every climber is rewarded with stunning views of the Upper Inntal valley.
Level of difficulty: A to C.
Laudecksteig (black)
You need agility and muscle power already on the first few metres of this difficult via ferrata, which is the crux of this route. After this section, climbers are again rewarded with magnificent views of the surrounding mountains. Just before getting to the final section, where climbers have to make it across a shaky rope bridge, the route features an overhanging rock.
Level of difficulty: C to D.
Please note that the via ferratas in Ladis are only open from mid-May to the end of October.
