Climbing arena Ottenalm

Climbing arena Ottenalm

Description

The climbing arena Kaiserwinkl, built in 2011 by the mountain camaraderie Walchsee, offers three via ferrata in good rock. The 70 to 300 meters long routes are D/E and interspersed with difficult, sometimes even overhanging sections. The Bergkamaden via ferrata demands a lot of fitness and rewards it with magnificent views. The Ottenalm-Direttissima, the heaviest of the three climbs, leads vertically uphill. Through steel ropes and two suspension bridges secure the two paths, which do not have an emergency exit. From a rope bridge over a gorge - aptly called "Schluchtenscheißerl" - the climber has an unobstructed view of the natural landmark Hochmoor Schwemm. For beginners, the Walchseerunde (C) is ideal as a practice via ferrata, which does not lead up to the summit ridge.
The descent from the Bergkamaden via ferrata and from the Ottenalm-Direttissima leads over the ridge path of the Harauer Spitze.

Complete via ferrata equipment including a helmet is required for all three routes, a safety rope is recommended for children and beginners. The climbing arena can be used free of charge and is accessible from Easter to 1 November. The cosy Ottenalm is best reached from Walchsee in a 40-minute hike or by mountain bike.
