Great hiking construction up to the Stuibenfall. At the top you will be rewarded with a great suspension bridge and viewing platform.

Certainly not a mistake: pack a change of clothes - those who brave the waterfall will be rewarded with a refreshing shower.

Stuben Tower Stairs at Stuibenfall

Highlight • Rest Area

An impressive and elaborate staircase leads to the waterfall. It's well worth the effort. Complemented by numerous vantage points overlooking the cascading water.

Stuiben Power Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A steep climb to the top of the waterfall. If you want to climb up there, you should have a head for heights. The lattice steps and the shaky bridge take some getting used to.

A beautiful, not too difficult via ferrata (C) in the front part of the Ötztal Valley, but with a great setting at Tyrol's highest waterfall.

Right in Umhausen, there's a large parking lot (€6/day), from which you initially take a leisurely walk through the forest to the Stuibenfall waterfall. The entrance to the trail is unmistakable and begins directly with …

Holiday start in Sölden – with the Stuibenfall via ferrata 🧗‍♂️
Yesterday we headed straight to the top: In fantastic weather, I started our summer vacation with the via ferrata at Stuibenfall, the highest waterfall in Tyrol.

An impressive mix of rock, steel cable, panoramic views, and suspension bridges – right next to the roaring water masses.

Via ferrata Stuibenfall - a popular but great tour

We left relatively early and were alone in the approx. 2 km long ascent and were able to put on everything in peace and master the first rope bridge. The path then meanders through the forest before continuing with the via ferrata.

This trail is fantastic, especially because you can walk right along the waterfall.

It's easily doable even for kids over 140cm tall.

Very nice via ferrata on a fantastically beautiful waterfall including crossing (optional-can be bypassed).
The via ferrata is marked as easy in the Ötztal Guide. It is very well developed with many crampons. However, I would only recommend the via ferrata if you have already done a few via ferratas and have some experience. It wasn't the first climb for …
