With 651 routes, this work-in-progress map below contains all the via ferrata routes in Europe that I have researched so far – see how.
Italy and Switzerland are well covered, with routes ranging from B to F. Austria has routes from C to F, while France, Germany, and Spain have mainly routes from D to F. Each pin/tour includes links to relevant descriptions. The grades follow the Austrian scale by Schall.
How to use the map
1. On Mobile phones with Android or iOS
You can tap on the Maximize button at the top-right of the map, or use the link https://goo.gl/maps/ZyneR6voPLAs6ssV7. This opens the custom map above as an extra layer in your Google Maps app and all the ferratas will be displayed, with a different color for each level of difficulty.
You can then use Google Maps as usual, but you will also see each ferrata pin. You can plan a drive in Google Maps and see which ferratas are close to your driving itinerary. You can search for a town or destination and see which ferratas are nearby. You can zoom-in to specific areas and check out the ferratas there.
Be aware that this extra map layer will only work when you have an internet connection. Save any details you need from the map ahead of time, if you expect to not have mobile data on the mountain.
To filter by grade, tap any pin, then tap More info > View map legend and select only the grades you want. Tap back, don’t tap Close.
To clear the via ferrata pins from your Google Maps app, simply tap any pin, then tap More info > View map legend > Close.
2. On Desktop PCs
You can simply use the map as it is embedded on this page, or click on the top-right Maximize / View larger map button, which opens the map in a new tab. From there, you can search for locations, names of via ferratas, or zoom-in to different areas on the map. You can filter by grade using the sidebar.
