Postalmklamm, Via ferrata in Strobl, Austria
The Postalmklamm via ferrata extends 4.5 kilometers through a steep gorge, featuring rope bridges and passages alongside the Rußbach river.
The climbing route, established in 2006, introduced a new variant called Wieslerfall in 2020 to expand the range of climbing options.
Local climbing traditions bring together participants from numerous regions for outdoor activities, training sessions, and competitions throughout each climbing season.
The route demands 5 hours to complete, requires climbing equipment including harness and helmet, and involves a road toll fee of 16 euros.
The climbing path reaches elevations between 751 and 1,159 meters, concluding at Schnitzhofalm where visitors can observe alpine cheese production.

Via ferrata routes in the Alps combine steel cables, metal rungs, and bridges into protected climbing paths through alpine rock faces. The routes extend through the Dolomites, French Alps, Austrian Ötztal, and Swiss mountain regions between 2,600 and 9,800 feet in elevation. Routes such as the Ivano Dibona or Cresta Ovest della Marmolada follow former military paths from World War I. Routes like the Via Ferrata de la Cascade in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes run alongside waterfalls and gorges. In the Salzkammergut and Grisons regions, routes such as Postalm and Schwarzhorn access summits and mountain lakes. The Spanish Voie Olmo near Alicante offers Mediterranean climbing sections in limestone cliffs. Technical sections with overhangs and traverses alternate with secured walking passages. Most via ferrata require climbing harnesses and appropriate equipment.
