Description

the Watzmann peak (2,713m) is the third highest peak in all of Germany. However, it is the highest when it comes to mountains located entirely within the German border. It is a beautiful mountain in the Bavarian Alps that offers truly spectacular views.

On this trip we will scale the Watzmann's famous East wall. At 1,800m, the Watzmann's East wall is the longest wall in the entire Eastern Alps. The climb will be difficult, but I will see to it that you are professionally and safely guided. As well, I will see to it that the trip is planned accordingly in terms of good weather conditions and proper route planning. However, because of the challenging nature of the climb, it is necessary that you have prior mountaineering experience.

Our journey will begin on the shores of the Konigsee lake. From there we will take a boat to St. Bartholoma. After that we will spend the night in the O-Wandlager. The following day, we will wake up early in the morning and begin our ascent. We will make our way to the Ice Chapel then go over the Berchdesgadener Weg until we reach the summit of the Watzmann. After that we will cross over to Hocheck (2,650m) before finally making our descent back to Konigsee. The time needed for the ascent and descent should be between 11 and 13 hours, so it will be a long, tough day, but it will also be a thrilling one as well.

The Watzmann is a beautiful peak. And the challenge one has to endure to scale its famed East wall only magnifies how incredible this mountain is.

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.
