The Mittenwalder Höhenweg via ferrata (A/B) could be better described as a secured high-altitude trail. It leads from the Karwendel cable car to the Brunnsteinhütte in a magnificent Karwendel setting and then back down into the valley.

On the western foothills of the Karwendel, high above the Olympiaregion Seefeld, a rewarding iron path was built directly to the summit of the Seefelder Spitze. Quick to reach - from the terminus of the funicular railway - the steel cable runs along longer vertical passages in the area of the western ridge up to the 2221 metre high summit cross.

More secured high-altitude trail than via ferrata in a fantastic Karwendel setting. Suitable for via ferrata beginners, as the long descent via the Brunnsteinhütte requires a certain level of fitness.
