Where there lots of mountains, there are lots of cliff faces. And anywhere there are lots of cliff faces, is a place that climbers of all abilities yearn for. In the global climbing scene, Ötztal is regarded as being synonymous as a climber’s paradise and rightly so, thanks its fantastic infrastructure.
In the 20 via ferrata routes alone, which have some 750 routes, performance-oriented climbers will find almost non-stop vertical playground, in all difficulty levels. Secured by steel cable throughout, 7 via ferrata routes in Ötztal take you up high. Treading on the cliff faces is your route to exhilaration – there are many key points that require power, skill and courage. Helmet, chest & hip belts along with carabiners are absolutely necessary for this mountain climbing challenge. After all – ‘Safety First!’ applies here.
For sport climbing the right climbing trousers are the most important item of clothing. Elastic materials and an optimised cut are key attributes.
For Alpine climbing I recommend soft shell trousers made from windproof material that is robust and stretchy. Flat, pockets that are suitable for a climbing belt, reinforced knees, and fast drying material are the perfect way to finish these trousers.
