Description

Come with me as we climb to the summit of Austria’s tallest summit, Mount Grossglockner at 3,798m. We’ll take two days to complete this challenge and as we climb we’ll be able to enjoy some epic alpine views.

Our journey will begin with an ascent to Stüdlhütte. It’ll take us around 3 hours to get here. This is also where we’ll spend the night. When we arrive, we’ll take the time to go over our plan for the next day. The mountain hut gives us beautiful views of the Großglockner and they offer a delicious buffet dinner.

We’ll get up early the next day and begin our ascent to the summit. We’ll be climbing for around eight hours on this day and will make our ascent via the Stüdlgrat Ridge. This is not an easy climb and you’ll need to have previous mountaineering experience.

The view that you’ll get from the summit is spectacular and really makes the whole climb worth it.

After taking some time to appreciate the views, we’ll descend via the Adlersruh to the Stüdlhütte then to the Lucknerhaus where the trip will end.

This is an awesome opportunity to climb Austria’s tallest mountain. Get in touch today to sign up!

About the guide

Mountain Guide

I have been in the mountains since my childhood, mainly in Styria where I come from. I'm now based in Liezen. I have studied biology and I'm now a full time IFMGA mountain guide since 2015.

I enjoy very much guiding my friends and clients in the Austrian Alps and show them places they could not see without being guided. I love spending my days outside, whatever the weather and help people living unique experiences in the outdoor.

Feel free to contact me if you plan to come to Austria and if you want to experience wild nature far from the crowd, whatever the season.

I speak German, English and a little bit of Spanish.

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!

Maxine

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.
