3-peak mountaineering expedition in the Austrian Alps

Climb the most famous peaks in the Austrian Alps with this 6-day mountaineering expedition with IFMGA-certified mountain guide Andreas.

6 Days

Jun - Aug

Description

Climb three 3,000-meter summits in six days with this mountaineering expedition in the beautiful High Tauern National Park. It's the Austrian Alps at their best!

High Tauern National Park is famous for its impressive glaciers and awe-inspiring peaks. During this 3-peaks mountaineering expedition you'll get to climb some of its most renowned summits: Grosser Geiger (3350 meters), Grossvenediger (3662 meters) and Grossglockner (3798 meters).

This program is considerably demanding. So please consider that you need to be able to walk 4 to 7 hours a day on steep/difficult terrain. Additionally, you need to have some experience walking in crampons.

Also, a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 4 participants can take this tour. So get a group together and come join me on this 6-day tour to the most beautiful spots in High Tauern National Park. You won't believe what you see from the top!

Alternatively, you could choose to go for the Grossglockner summit alone. It is the highest and most famous peak in Austria. Check out my 2-day Grossglockner ascent by the normal route for more information.

Join me on this 3-peak expedition to the heart of the High Tauern National Park. Contact me if you have any questions. It will be the trip of a lifetime!

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.
