Via ferrata tame goat

The Via Ferrata Tame Goat is a secured climbing route stretching approximately 330 feet (100 meters) with steel cables and stirrups, designed for beginners and families seeking an accessible mountain experience in the Austrian Alps.

The via ferrata routes in the Salzburger Saalachtal Valley were developed decades ago by mountaineers who established secured paths to traverse previously inaccessible mountain sections, creating safe passages through challenging alpine terrain.

This via ferrata represents the alpine climbing traditions of Austria, serving as an introduction to mountain sports and fostering a culture of outdoor recreation that attracts both local residents and international visitors to the region.

The route requires about 45 minutes to complete with a 10-minute walk from the Seisenbergklamm parking area, and climbers should wear proper footwear, gloves, and carry water while supervising children throughout the ascent.

The route features a gentle climbing experience with an elevation gain of roughly 490 feet (150 meters), making it particularly suitable for children and first-time climbers who wish to practice with short safety ropes.
