Description

Grossglockner (3798m) is Austria’s highest mountain and a very popular goal among mountaineers. Join me on this 2-day program to its summit via the normal route.

On the border between the Austrian states of Carinthia and Tyrol, Grossglockner is part of the High Tauern mountain range. During the ascent, you’ll enjoy strikingly beautiful views of the surrounding peaks.

This classic route to the Grossglockner summit is not technically difficult but be aware that you do need to know how to walk with crampons and have a very good physical condition.

This 2-day climb starts with a hiking trail to Studl Hut. From there, our next goal will be Erzherzog Johann Hut, where we’ll spend the night. To get to the hut, we’ll have to cross a magnificent glacier, and that’s where the crampons come in handy!

We’ll leave quite early on the second day for the summit attack. The biggest challenge is right before we get to the top: Glockner Scharte (col) will lead us straight to the summit.

Want to join me on this classic ascent in the Alps? I can take up to 3 people with me. Contact me know and reserve your dates!

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.
