KL_N2 Däumling

Attention: Due to the construction site at the mountain station, we recommend access via the Watschiger Alm – FIS slope – FIS lift mountain station or alternatively via the KHW 403 to the Garnitzen Törl, then continuing to the FIS valley station and then via the path to the Gartnerkofel. Due to the construction traffic, be sure to avoid the Garnitzenalmweg and the Gartnerkofelbahn mountain station!

The "Däumling" is calling! For all ambitious via ferrata fans, this via ferrata with a stunning panorama of the impressive Gartnerkofel massif at Nassfeld is a must.

Suggestion

After the via ferrata, a climb to the Gartnerkofel summit is also recommended (2,195 m - about 20 minutes walking time from the via ferrata exit).

There are also other attractions at the mountain station – younger children can let off steam at the natural mountain playground "Almrausch", while the freestanding Sky Plate viewing platform invites you to enjoy great views.

Note: The difficulty rating only applies to the via ferrata itself, not to the ascent and descent.

Equipment

Complete climbing equipment and helmet are necessary!

Directions

Public Transportation:

The most sustainable way to reach the area is by train (coming from Villach) to Hermagor. From Hermagor you can then reach the town of Tröpolach by station shuttle as well as bus / ski bus.

Alternatively, there is also the option to travel by bus from Kötschach-Mauthen or Villach to Hermagor or Tröpolach.

From Tröpolach, take the Millennium Express up to the Treßdorfer Alm station. From there, you can reach the valley station of the Gartnerkofelbahn after about 2 km on foot.

Arrival by Car:

Via the B111 (Gailtal Road) to Tröpolach – from there via the B90 (Nassfeld Pass Road) to the intersection L22a/B90 – turn right here onto L22a towards Sonnleitn (a few meters before the valley station of the Tröglbahn).
