Arnisee Climbing Park
The climbing park above the Arnisee consists of the Adlerhorst via ferrata and various climbing routes at the Piel-Flue. The via ferrata is rather challenging on the rock. The view of Arnisee and the Reusstal is simply a pleasure. With this panoramic view, one feels like an eagle in its nest and exactly this feeling led the initiators to name the via ferrata Adlerhorst.
Adlerhorst Via Ferrata
A ladder forms the entry to the via ferrata. After the first steep section, you cross the lower wall area (emergency exit possible) and then climb up a ramp to the steep and exposed middle section. After the key section, the overhang, the route winds through the mountain pines growing out of the wall towards the exit.

Safety guidelines
- Climbers should keep an eye on the weather forecast in advance, as parts of the via ferrata are located above 2000 m above sea level and in extreme cases light snowfall can occur.
- Observe the weather forecasts. In the Alps, the weather can change rapidly.
