3-day multi-pitch climbing in Hochkönig, Austria
Reach the peak of the Berchtesgaden Alps with Andreas, IFMGA-certified, guiding you atop Hochkönig, a paradise for rock climbing and home of the legendary climber Albert Precht.
Description
Climb Austria’s majestic Hochkönig mountain, which stands at 2,841 meters, the highest elevation of the Berchtesgaden Alps.
The area is famed for being the home of Albert Precht, who had reportedly climbed between 800-1,000 new routes, and dedicated most of his energy towards the limestone walls of Hochkönig.
Idyllic alpine meadows rest between the peaks of the Hochkönig massif.
The first day involves multi-pitch training in Weißbach, close to Lofer, before making our ascent to Mitterfeldalm, which towers above nearby rolling fields.
On the second and third day, we are multi-pitch climbing in the Mandlwänden or in the Imlauer mountains, located at the eastern foothill of the massif. The routes are selected depending on the climbing ability and experience of the group.
Whatever our route along the way, we will end the trip with a descent to Arthurhaus.
The level of difficulty for this trip involves a good climbing technique, and it is an advantage to have experience with multi-pitch routes.
Reserve your place now on this 3-day multi-pitch climb, and get the chance to reach the peak of the Berchtesgaden Alps in Austria.

About the guide
The mountains have always been a great part of my life. I was a youth leader of the Alpine Association of Zell am See, Bergrettungsmann, and completed the training as a ski and snowboard instructor. I studied meteorology because it can be very useful in mountaineering. My first trips took me to the Eastern Alps, around Piz Bernina and Biancogray. I also had the chance many times the amazing Mont Blanc range and the peaks around Chamonix. Finally, I got to practice in the high mountains of Bolivia and Chile.
I have really found my calling as a mountain guide. I am right where I always wanted to be. The smile on my clients' faces at the summit or after an intense ski day is so rewarding!
I am part of a team of local guides (Bergführer Zell am See Kaprun), all friends of mine, guys with whom I share the passion for the mountains. They are Markus B, Markus H and Gerald, all IFMGA certified guides. Our philosophy is "to know how to do something well is to enjoy it". Therefore, we always keep learning to give you the best experience.

Firstly, this is the second occasion that we have booked a trip through Explore-Share and both times the process has been brilliant from start to finish. They are helpful, informative and efficient and always easy to contact. Secondly, this is the first time we have used Andreas as a guide and we really couldn\'t have asked for more. He assisted us in the preparation and logistics of the trip and helped us to get to the starting point, thus avoiding the need for a hire car. The guiding process was fantastic, professional throughout but also friendly and relaxed making it the perfect balance; everyone in our group loved the trip. Brilliant value for money, would not hesitate to book him again. Good stuff!

The guide was really nice, he really knew his stuff, he was a good laugh as well. Always chilled out. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Unfortunately I didn\'t make it to the summit however, I plan to come back and do it again. And actually finish it! But it definitely gave me a huge insight on what I want to do to travel, and that is to climb mountains for charity. So thank you guys so much for helping me out. It was truly an incredible experience!

It was a great human and sport experience. This region is so beautiful. Andreas is a kind, honest person and a great guide. It was a pleasure to share this climb with him. He was permanently avalaible before and during the ascent and gave me some good advice. The ascent (we climbed by the studlgrat) was challenging and nice. That one requires a good physical fitness and some rock-climbing skills. I was pleased and proud when we reached the top.

Andreas is a very friendly and competent guide. It was reassuring to be climbing with a meteorologist during unstable weather. All three of us climbing felt very safe to have Andreas leading us up and down. I highly recommend this trip and hope to see Andi again soon!
