Via ferratas in the Zillertal: Zack Zack Salami
Intensive training with Vivalpin pro Theo Förster
Up to 9 via ferratas in one weekend? Hard to believe, but Theo makes it possible. Theo Förster is one of the most experienced state-certified mountain and ski guides in the Vivalpin team and has been an absolute fan of these modern via ferratas in the Rofan and Zillertal for 12 years.
On the first day, a selection (or all?) of the 5 summit via ferratas in the Rofan await you. They offer fantastic climbing and range from difficulty level B on the Haidachstellwand to C/D on the Rosskopf. On this weekend, you will of course improve your personal skills and belaying technique - after all, you should have fun on these unique via ferratas.
On the second day, we head to Mayrhofen in the Zillertal. Climbs from C/D to D/E are climbed here. There you can put what you have learned into practice and improve step by step.

"In my opinion, the via ferratas in the Rofan and near Mayrhofen are among the best in the Northern Alps. They are extremely varied and perfect for my training."
