Amongst other things, visitors will discover the "Eternal Hunting Grounds": two ca. 60 m-high granite blocks that tower skywards just a few minutes away from Gasthof Breitlahner in the Zemmgrund. This climbing center, ranging in difficulty between levels 4 and 10, is exceptionally well secured and one of the most beautiful to be found anywhere in Europe.

On the Penken, too, you will find two climbing areas ranging from 4 - 8+. In addition, a "Via Ferrata for Everyone" gives even inexperienced climbers an opportunity to enjoy a taste of this exciting sport. Equipment can be borrowed for free at the summit terminal of the Penken chair lift.
