There are many reasons for choosing Rock Climbing in Austria

Dominated by the Alps, Austria is home to some wonderful climbing spots. When the weather dips and the water freezes, the landscape transforms. There are glacial walls, ice sheets and frozen falls. Whether it’s the western state Tyrol, the south-eastern state of Styria or the southernmost state of Carinthia, the wintry wonderland offers incredible opportunities to climb.

Best time to visit

What's the weather like?

The Alps dominate much of the country, and so an alpine climate covers large and varied areas. The winter months are colder in the mountainous regions compared with the lowlands. And snow blankets the mountainside from around November to April
