Season and hours

Free access, but only in season. Season: June – October.

The Silberkarklamm gorge is private and closes outside the season together with the via ferratas and the hut — per the regional portal from 12 October 2026 to mid-May 2027. High water and storms make the routes by the stream dangerous.

Gear and requirements

Harness, via ferrata lanyard with an energy absorber (EN 958) and a helmet. The route is unstaffed with no rental at the start — bring your own gear or hire it down in the valley.

Requirements: The regional brochure gives a minimum age of 12.

Tickets: A fee for maintaining the Silberkarklamm gorge (Klammerhaltungsgebühr) is charged on entry. We do not give the amount because the sources do not publish it.
