Description

Join me on this 2-day trip and reach the summit of Wildspitze (3774m), the highest mountain in Tyrol. This very varied and impressive tour takes you over glaciers and a gentle rock ridge. From the top, we will have a fantastic view over the Ötztal Alps.

Bear in mind this ascent requires an very good fitness level, as to hike up 8 to 9 hours per day, although no crampons experience is needed, as we will have some training time.

We will meet in Vent, where we will take a chairlift up to 2365m. From there we will walk (2,5h) to the summit of Wilder Mann (3019 m), to acclimatize to altitude. Then we will descend to the Rofenkar glacier for crampon training and continue to the Breslauer Hut (2844 m) where we stay over night.

On the next day, we start early to climb the Wildspitze. Over a slight via Ferrata we reach the Mitterkarjoch (3470m). From there we continue via the Taschach glacier to the southwest ridge to the summit. From the top, we will get breathtaking views over the surrounding mountains.

We will descend the same way, or if the conditons are good we make the traverse of Wildspitze and descend via the Rofenkar glacier back to the chairlift. It will takes us in total about 8 to 9 hours.

Want to join me on this ascent? Just send me a request, book your trip and I will guide you to the top of Wildspitze.

Mountain Guide

IFMGA/IVBV Certified mountain, ski and canyoning guide, member of DAV and VDBS mountaineering and sport climbing teaching and training team. I’ve been part of the VDBS team for the formation and training of German mountain guides for 20 years.

I started climbing at the age of 17. Since 1987 I am certified mountain guide and a passion has become a profession. I live in Scharnitz / Tyrol and I am leader of the moutaineering school Alpenwelt Karwendel in Mittenwald.
Ice climbing in norway, skitouring in morocco, rock climbing in cuba or high mountains in the himalaya - I like it to explore new areas around the world. I led a DAV training expedition for talented young mountaineers in the Tian Shan mountain range with climbing Khan Tengri and did several expeditions to the karakorum mountains and the himalayas.

As a full-time mountain guide, I feel at home in the Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains as well as in the mountains and climbing areas worldwide. I am happy to accompany you as a guide to your desired goal!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.
