Description

Let me guide you on this adventure to the summit of Austria’s highest and most famous peak, Grossglockner (3,798m). Venture with me into this 2-day mountaineering trip.

Because this is a very famous mountain, many people attempt to reach its summit. So, I will guide take you to my favorite secret spots and less crowded places. And, we’ll take the Studlgrat’s crest, a variant of the normal route, which is normally busier. But, this variant has equally impressive views and thrilling patches.

The itinerary I recommend is to begin at Lucknerhaus. Then we’ll begin our trek towards the Studlhutte Refuge. This charming mountain hut is located in the Hohe Tauern National Park, right at the foot of Grossglockner. So we can enjoy some of the most mesmerizing views of the peak and the park.

During our second day I suggest we leave early morning. And, after a delicious and nutritious breakfast we head to a glacier that adorns these paths with its magnificent beauty. Then, we’ll pass a steep and short climb until we reach a ridge. Finally, we’ll find a final stretch of snow that will lead us directly to the summit of Grossglockner.

Once we reach the summit, the views you’ll get and the pure air you’ll breath, will be completely worth it!

Due to the type of ascent and mountain, please note that this climb is classified as a difficult one. Even though the technical difficulties are not high, it requires a good physical condition and previous experience with crampons.

Also, this trip is only for 2 participants. So, it is a more intimate trip and I can make sure you are safe the whole time.

If you want to join this adventure, send me a request. I promise you’ll have a wonderful time ascending the Grossglockner. You can also check this 4-days multi-pitch climbing trip in Sardinia that I guide too.

About the guide

Massimo

Mountain Guide

Born in a small mountain village, in the Valis del Natisone area, I grew up surrounded by mountains, which I learned from my childhood. Great spaces, sense of freedom and love for nature were the first great feelings I learned to make mine.

From the top of the mountains that shelter my country I saw others, much more impressive, and from here came the desire to discover new horizons, new landscapes and even larger spaces. And here I quickly travel all the Julian Alps, in the summer (for the normal routes first and then for railways and climbing routes) and in winter with the skis, discovering a passion that gradually becomes bigger and that brings me, in a few years, to discover the beauty of all the Alps.

In the footsteps of the great alpinists I have retraced a large part of the itineraries that have made the history of this that, in my opinion, is not just a sport activity but a lifestyle, which puts us in the conditions to live the mountain in all its aspects and to live the time as it is marked by the passing of the seasons.

The desire to transmit these emotions to other people and allow them to live in complete safety and freedom, has led me to face the strict path necessary to become Mountain Guide, a passion became a profession for the love of the mountain, its people and the his silences.

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.
