Description

The Grossglockner, Austria’s crown jewel at 3798 meters, beckons mountain enthusiasts from around the world. This majestic peak, part of the Hohe Tauern range, is a must-do for any serious climber. Its distinctive bell-shaped silhouette is the inspiration behind its name.

In this trip I offer the Stuedlgrat ridge route, rated IV, slightly more technical and challenging than the normal route. It require sgood physical condition and previous mountaineering experience.

The southwest ridge, or Stuedlgrat, demands confidence and expertise with crampons. It's a beautiful ridge climb, and a great alternative to the much more frequented normal route. Climbing difficulty III+, but mostly I-II

Growing up in Salzburg's Lungau, the passion for nature, the mountains and all the associated sports possibilities accompanied me already from an early age.

The versatility of the mountains, summer and winter, shaped my life. No matter if freeriding, ice climbing or in the summer with sports and alpine climbing I am constantly trying to improve myself, to discover something new and to share this joy and my experiences as a state certified mountain guide to my customers.

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.
