Description

The Grossglockner (3,790m) is the highest mountain in Austria and a popular destination for mountaineering expeditions. This tour is your chance to reach its summit under expert guidance. Join me!

Standing on the border between the states of Carinthia and Tyrol, above the Adriatic Sea, the Grossglockner is part of the larger Glockner Group. The Pasterze, Austria’s biggest glacier, lies on its eastern slope.

On this 2-day ascent, we will climb glaciers and granite. Therefore, you will need to be able to handle an ice axe and crampons properly. Furthermore, the altitude requires a good fitness level.

After meeting, we will drive to the Luckner Hut, where our alpine adventure begins. After an 800 m ascent, we will reach the Stüdl Hut, where we will spend the night surrounded by fabulous landscapes. Then, the second day we will climb 1000m including a thrilling ridge, to get to the summit of Grossglockner.

The top of this pyramid-shaped mountain is heavily glaciated and offers amazing views of the Alps. You will surely feel rewarded! So, if you are up this gorgeous 2-day mountaineering trip in the Austrian Alps, please contact me. Let’s get to the top of the huge Grossglockner together!

I also offer rock climbing adventures around Italy. If you are interested, take a look at my half-day trip in Cadini di Misurina.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
