DAY 1 – Via Ferrata Austria – Via Ferrata Stuibenfall – Oetztal

The Leite via ferrata is part of a complex of rock faces near the sports area of the small, quaint village of Nassereith. After just a few meters, it offers a panoramic view of the entire valley, as well as a short but pleasant climb on white limestone. An ideal route, even on unpredictable days.
