Climb the Plattkofel via the Oskar Schuster Via Ferrata
An alpine via ferrata adventure in the Dolomites
The Oskar Schuster Via Ferrata leads to the Plattkofel (2,964 m) – one of the most striking peaks of the Dolomites. While the southwest side rises gently with long scree slopes, the northeast face drops dramatically into the Plattkofelkar. First climbed in 1895 by German mountaineer Oskar Schuster, this bold route is today equipped with steel cables at its most demanding sections, but remains only partly secured in line with its alpine tradition.
The reward is a summit experience with unique views into the Langkofel and Plattkofel cirques, across to the Marmolada Glacier, and down over the vast meadows of the Seiser Alm – true Dolomite contrasts at their finest.
With a certified mountain guide, the Oskar Schuster Via Ferrata becomes a safe, unforgettable, and truly alpine adventure in the Dolomites – perfect for those who want to combine challenge and spectacular landscapes.
