Description

Mount Grossglockner is the top summit of Austria. It is 3798 meters high. It’s a beautiful pyramid shaped mountain and an important symbol in my country. It takes 2 days to summit it. Do you have its ascent on your climbing list? Then why not going up there together to enjoy a good mountaineering moment?

Meeting at Lucknerhaus in Kals (East Tyrol) on day 1. We start with an equipment check at the parking of the mountain restaurant (1918m) in order to make sure we have everything we need to climb it under good conditions.

We start our adventure by following a marked trekking trail through the Ködnitz Valley. Then we continue our way and pass the Lucknerhütte (2241 m) and Stüdlhütte (2802 m), two mountain refuges. Our hike follows then the Ködnitz glacier. We finally reach our destination, the Eagle’s Rest “Adlersruhe” / “Erzherzog-Johann hut” (3454 m) after 5 hours walking.

On day 2, at sunrise, we start our final climb of Mount Grossglockner. Roped and with crampons we overcome the ice face of the Glockner Leitl. After a short descent into Glocknerscharte we reach the summit of Mount Grossglockner (1.5 hours walking).

While resting shortly on the summit we enjoy the breathtaking views over the whole country. I will be happy to explain you all the peaks surrounding us.

We go down using the same path as on our way up. Our 2-day trip ends in Lucknerhaus after a 5 hour walk.

Please get in touch with me if you are interested in ascending this awesome mountain. I will guide you there with much pleasure, in this area that I know very well !

During the summer I'm on the rocks and in the winter on the snow and the ice...sometimes vice versa.

Please get in touch with me if you wish to be guided in the Austria mountains and discover our secrets spots.

My favourite quote: it does not come on performance, but on the experience (Anderlecht Heckmair, first ascent of the Eiger North Wall ).

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.
