About Fadensteig

Fadensteig is a majestic mountain located in the heart of Austria. It is one of the shortest and most popular routes for experienced mountaineers and sure-footed hikers to climb the Schneeberg, and is therefore almost a normal route. The thread is also very popular with ski tourers in winter, but it can quickly become a deadly trap when it is icy.
Address : 2770, Austria
