Beautiful approach from Pointen without the support of the mountain railway to the via ferrata. The via ferrata (C/D) through the north face of the Kitzbüheler Horn has steep vertical passages and airy crossings. The summit offers a fantastic panoramic view of the Kaiser Mountains, the Loferer Steinberge and the three thousand metre peaks to the south.
