Description

The Jubiläumsgrat (also known as ‘Anniversary Ridge’) is a classic route on Germany’s highest alpine ridge and a precious goal for advanced mountaineers. Would you like to join me for an spectacular 1-day climb?

This 8 km mountain ridge connects two iconic German summits: Zugspitze (the highest peak in the country, at 2962 m) and Alpspitze (2628 m).

We’ll start this trip very early in the morning and take Zugspitze’s first gondola. Then, we’ll start climbing up and down countless towers, enjoying deep breathtaking views of the Höllental (Hell’s Valley). Around half of our ridge traverse, we’ll reach a bivouac box that has been recently set up.

After that, we’ll continue our way through the many towers and climb up to the Volkarspitze. This exposed ascent is the most difficult part of this ridge crossing. After that we’ll reach the summit of Grieskarscharte (2436 m). Then, right before the Hochblassen, we’ll turn left and then go up to the Alpspitze, the last peak of this climb. Then, we’ll descend to Alspitzbahn mountain station and return to the valley.

The Jubiläumsgrat is a very long and demanding route, that requires excellent physical conditions and a good use of time. Sure-footedness and not suffering from vertigo are essential, as well as being able to climb up to 2nd degree.

Are you ready for the most challenging ridge traverse in Germany? Then send me a request so we can start planning this incredible adventure!

About the guide

Mountain Guide

My name is Andreas Biberger. I grew up in Mittenwald, in the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Already as a child I was drawn to the mountains and spent a lot of time as a child on skis. At some point I started with rock climbing and everything developed gradually. After school, I first learned the profession of coach builder for cars and I also liked it a lot.

Again and again I also joined climbing courses at the local mountain school. Then I started a training to become a state-certified mountain and ski guide. I have always been passionate about endurance sports so I also tried other sports, such as triathlon, and participated in probably the most famous competition, the Ironman in Hawaii. Mountain biking is another big passion of mine.

I am a certified-IFMGA mountain guide, and for more than 20 years I have accompanied guests through the Alps several times a year. But I still like to travel in my homeland in the mountains and guide my guests to lesser-known but beautiful peaks.

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.

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.
