I was planning to do some via ferrata this weekend in the German/Austrian Alps, but now I'm realizing that there will probably be too much snow. Any thoughts about that? I was looking near either Zugspitze or Innsbruck since they seem to have a high density of Via Ferratas.
On the other hand, I have bought an ice axe and crampons and other basic equipment for a mountaineering class I will take this summer. Any suggestions for hikes on very easy snow where I could start to get familiar with the equipment?
