Klettersteig Krokodil offers a short but varied alpine outing above the Vorbau Bergseeschijen. The route climbs in a striking high-mountain setting with wide views toward the winter peaks and the Damma glacier, and it is secured by a continuous steel cable all the way to the descent notch. Iron rungs help on the more demanding passages, while the overall character remains compact rather than long. A 18-metre rope bridge adds an airy highlight after the main wall; if preferred, it can be bypassed by a hanging ladder. For children, an additional rope backup is recommended.
