Description

The Grossglockner (3798m) is the highest peak in Austria, located in the Hohe Tauern range, in the Eastern Alps. It is definitely in the to-do list of mountain lovers!

Its slender rocky shape resembles a bell, and that's probably where its name comes from.

I offer two options to ascend this famous peak. One is more demanding than the other, they are difficulty II and IV. So you can choose the one you want depending on your level and climbing skills. In any case, being in good shape and have prior climbing experience are necessary to attempt this ascent.

The first route is from the Erzherzog Johann Hut. It's the classic route and the easiest of the two. Still, you need to know how to walk with crampons.

The second route is through the south west ridge, the Stuedlgrat. It's more demanding and you need to be very confident walking with crampons. In fact, this route is perfect as a test to ascend Matterhorn, which I also guide. For more details about the routes please check the itinerary below.

Tempted to reach the top of this Austrian mountain? Then don't hesitate to send me a request specifying the route you prefer!

Mountain Guide

I'm an IFMGA-certified mountain guide currently based in the Elbe Valley, Czech Republic. I've skied since a very young age but climbing is my true passion. I was in climbing representation and have climbed many big walls in the Alps, the US and Greenland.To me, mountain guiding is a unique profession: it allows me to spend my days doing what I like and to share with others the beauty I find in in the mountains.

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.
