2-Day Guided Ascent of Grossglockner via Studlgrat Ridge

Embark on one of the most iconic alpine climbs in Austria with this 2-day guided ascent of Grossglockner (3,798 m) via the stunning Studlgrat Ridge. Known for its elegance and exposure, the Studlgrat offers a perfect mix of rock scrambling and snow/ice climbing on solid terrain with breathtaking views of the Hohe Tauern range.

Led by IFMGA-certified guide Nejc, the adventure begins at the Lucknerhaus parking lot (1,918 m) with an approach to the Stüdlhütte (2,802 m), where you'll spend the night. On the second day, you'll tackle the southwest ridge—a continuous line of exposed rock and mixed terrain rated up to UIAA II-III. The ridge demands confident movement on a rope and offers a rewarding alpine experience all the way to the summit.

After reaching the top of Austria's highest mountain, you'll descend via the normal route past the Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte (3,454 m) and return to your starting point.

This climb is ideal for mountaineers with prior experience in alpine environments, including basic rock climbing and exposure to roped travel in mixed terrain.
