Have you always wanted to climb up the wall like Spiderman? In the bouldering park for kids you can! When bouldering, you climb without rope at jumping height and are secured by crash pads (thick foam mats). How high can you climb?
Numerous paths lead through the mountain world and on the via ferrata you will get to know nature from a whole new side. In addition to climbing equipment, an experienced partner is necessary for this. Beginners can use the services of experienced mountain guides in Galtür. This way, the excursion into the mountains remains safe. Valley lovers also get their money's worth: Austria's largest natural stone climbing wall is located at the back of the Alpinarium Galtür.
The via ferrata Little Ballun is the latest addition in Galtür and is already suitable for children from about 8 years old. The entrance to the via ferrata can be reached in a few minutes from the mountain station of the Birkhahn cable car. The via ferrata is perfectly secured - but you still need to bring the necessary via ferrata equipment (via ferrata set, helmet, gloves, solid shoes).
The via ferrata Silvapark is an exciting challenge. The starting point for the via ferrata is the mountain station, after which you can follow the signs. The primeval rock via ferrata is classified as medium to difficult. The via ferrata leads climbers through a north face to the summit, where there is an impressive view of the glacier world of the Silvretta and the Rätikon.
The climbing tour leads along the northeast face or the northeast flank. The starting point of the tour is at the mountain station, then you can follow the signs. The climbing tour on the Ballunspitze is a day tour, the via ferrata has difficulty level III - IV. For support from our experienced mountain guides, contact the Galtür mountain guide office.
More climbing fun is not possible! In bouldering, daredevils find their way on the rock without a rope and at jumping height. The climbers are secured thanks to the crash pads. In the bouldering area Silvapark there are over 160 possible routes in 8 sectors. There are routes suitable for beginners as well as for professionals. A special feature is the "Anam Cara": with a difficulty level of 8c, climbing freaks can try their hand at one of the most difficult bouldering routes in the world.
