"Falkensteig"

From the access along the gully to the beginning of the dihedral A/B. Short traverse up to the end of the dihedral C/D and along a grassed ledge towards the pine A/B. Past the pine on a steep grassed ledge and a short rock step beneath an overhang to the rock register A/B. Up to a ledge A/B and continue up to a niche B/C. To the left traverse an exposed crossing, over ledges and steps to the beginning of a short gully-like ramp to the right B/C. Over a few rock steps to the left into the gorge-sided wall. Past rock slabs and ledges to the rope climb crossing the gorge and towards the end. Continue for 10 minutes along the walking path to the summit. Duration: approx. 2 hrs, climbing length approx. 300 m. Descent: along the marked path back to Lake Falkertsee – approx. 60 min. Use of the via ferrata at own risk! Topologie Klettersteig in Photo

"Murmelsteig"

The East Tyrolean via ferrata builder and professional mountaineer Peter Ortner has achieved something great again with this via ferrata. In addition to the difficult "Falkensteig" there is now a lighter trail. The new via ferrata leads from Sonntagstal tonearly 400 meters long, almost up to the brand new summit cross. The approach is also on the well-marked way to Sonntagstal to signpost, then north to the "Falkertwalls" - about 30 min. Entry is directly on the left, next to Falkensteig.

The chosen line is excellent, not stingy withspectacular low views and exposed spots. Nevertheless, the climb can be classified in category B. Some treads were set and sometimes some steps were cut in the rock. Even a 20-meter-long rope bridge requires a lot of overcoming, but makes the heart of mountain enthusiastic via ferrata beat faster.

Healthy alpine pasture

It is not surprising that an environment boasting clear mountain air and fresh spring water has beneficial effects on people’s health. This has also been scientifically validated. Together with the wonderful experience of a stay at the Heidi Alm Falkert on an alpine pasture, mountain holidays keep body and soul fit:

AMAS altitude study

The number of people spending their holidays in alpine and mountain regions seeking wellbeing and relaxation amounts to over 60 million annually. The effects of an active holiday in the mountains on human organism have been shown in the scientific Austrian Moderate Altitude Study,"AMAS 2000". In the course of this pilot study, 100 people were prescribed hikes of different lengths ranging in heights from 1,500 to 2,500 meters over a period of three weeks. This corresponds exactly to the altitude region of Falkert. The results: after a three week stay at moderate heights the tested vacationers showed improvement in blood-sugar and cholesterol levels, experienced a weight loss of four to six pounds and significantly lower blood pressure. Also better oxygen transport due to higher counts of red blood corpuscles was recorded. “At higher altitudes the organism is forced to activate its reserves”, says university professor and director of the study, Dr. Georg Humpeler, and compares the process with an engine. First it speeds up to reach full power. After that however, at the end of its peak, it runs smoother with lower revolutions and performs equally or even better."
These proven health benefits are included in holidays spent on Heidi Alm Falkert at altitudes of between 1,700 m and 2,300 metres.
