The Via Ferrata Maximilian is not technically demanding, although it is unsecured in places over a scree-ridge. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are a must. The Ferrata traverses the entire Rosszahnkamm ridge – from the summit of the Großer Rosszahn to the Roterdspitze – and boasts outstanding views over the Seiser Alm and the peaks of the Dolomites.
Details

Behind the Tierser-Alpl mountain hut, you will see signposts for the Via Ferrata Maximilian Klettersteig. The route leads up a steep gully to the saddle and on to the left and the crest of the big Rosszahn. On the west, the Ferrata leads through a rock arch behind the ridge of the Roterdkamm and along the ridge to the Roterdscharte. Here you will find an emergency route leading back down to the RefugeTierser Alpl mountain hut. The Ferrata continues on to the Rosszähne, where you will find breathtaking panoramic views over the Dolomites. Over to the west, the trail (No. 4) leads down to the Refuge Tierser Alpl mountain hut.
