Falkert Lake

Highlight • Lake

Falkertsee is a small holiday mountain village in the Kärnten Nock Mountains with a beautiful, high-alpine lake and some lift facilities for winter sports. In summer it is more of an oasis of peace, while in winter there can be quite a bit of activity.

Murmelsteig via ferrata

Highlight • Climb

The brand new via ferrata will be opened in the coming spring, but we just did not want to wait so long to test the latest work by the East Tyrolean via ferrata setter and professional hiker Peter Ortner, who has achieved something great again in Carinthia. Heidi Alm Managing Director Florian "Flo" Köfer also helped with the construction. "At Falkert, next to the heavy 'Falkensteig', we wanted a lighter one for our mountain-loving guests." The new via ferrata runs proudly for 400 meters from Sonntagstal to almost the brand new summit cross.

The line chosen by Ortner is excellent, not stingy with spectacular views and exposed areas. Nevertheless, the climb should be classified in category B. "There were some treads set and sometimes kicks kicked in the rock," reveals the former freeride professional and extreme skier. The 38-year-old is particularly impressed by the 20 meter long rope bridge ...

Falken-Steig Via Ferrata

Highlight • Climb

I started this via ferrata without great expectations and was completely blown away. What a fantastic line through the wall, or rather up the wall. There are some really steep climbs. A bit of muscle power will definitely come in handy here.
The rock is surprisingly unworn, so you have a good footing.
This climb really shouldn't be underestimated. Your heart rate will rise quite a bit, and at times you'll really feel like you're out of breath.
But you'll be rewarded with an intense and varied scramble with a breathtaking view of the Sonntagstal valley! At the top, you'll cross a nice rope bridge while swallows whizz past your head.
It took me 30 minutes at a brisk pace from the start to the exit, then a 20-minute jog over Falkertspitz and Falkenscharte through the Sonntagstal valley back to the start, because the kids finally wanted to go to Heidi's Alm ;)

Falkert Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

The ascent to the summit of the Falkert at 2308 meters is worthwhile in every respect. The view you enjoy from the top is simply indescribable. You could linger there for hours. The summit cross is also a true beauty. Two benches and the platform around the summit cross invite you to linger.
