Johann via ferrata to the Simony Hut + Dachstein summit in one day

Traversing a major part of the Dachstein’s iconic southface, the Johann via ferrata is one of the largest in Austria and a great way to experience this massive massif.

Join me and over the course of our day together, we will climb the iron path up to the Simony Hut before reaching the summit of this 2.995-meter high massif on an easier path.

Our day begins with a scenic two hour hiking approach to the start of the Johann via ferrata, which will take us up along the iconic southface of the Dachstein. From the via ferrata, we will enjoy some great views of the surroundings, including an up-close view of the massive rock wall.

Once we reach the the Simony Hut, we will disembark from this via ferrata, have a short rest, then continue to the summit via another easy ferrata.

From the summit, we’ll enjoy superb views of the surrounding Alps and accompanying scenery, before hiking back over a glacier to the hut and taking a gondola back down the mountain.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun and accessible 1-day via ferrata climb up the Dachstein’s iconic southface and on to the peak’s summit!
