DESCRIPTION
Grossglockner Guided Climb – Normal Route or Studlgrat Ridge
Conquer Austria’s highest peak, Grossglockner (3,798 m), on a thrilling two-day alpine adventure with OutventureX. Choose between the classic Normal Route, ideal for those with basic mountaineering experience, or take on the more technical and exposed Studlgrat Ridge for a true high-alpine challenge.
Both routes begin with a scenic approach through the Ködnitztal valley, passing mountain huts before spending the night in a cozy alpine refuge. Day two brings glacier crossings, steep ridgelines, and a rewarding summit with panoramic views of the Eastern Alps.
Led by professional OutventureX FMGA guides, this tour requires good fitness and prior experience using crampons and ice axes. Routes range in difficulty from PD+ (II+) to AD+ (III+), with up to 1,900 meters of elevation gain over two days.
Not suitable for beginners. Advanced booking required. From €500 per person.
Book your ascent with OutventureX and experience the Alps like never before.
