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.

Mountain Guide
Mountains have been a part of my life since childhood. I started doing more serious mountaineering expeditions at the end of high school after successfully completing all levels of mountain climbing courses. In the last 10 years, I have been at least on one expedition every year. I climbed in Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, the USA, Scotland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, France, Swiss, Italy, Japan, Pakistan, Tibet and Nepal.
I completed my training as a mountaineering guide and became a full member of the IFMGA family.
I enjoy climbing both Slovenian and foreign mountains.
Some of my most unforgettable and also the most successful routes:
Tsoboje - Slovenian direct (2021)
Kang Ri - East pillar (2013)
Janak - Blue racer (2012)
K7 West - The dreamers of the golden caves (2011)
The route I climbed on K7 West was rewarded with Piolet d’or recognition for mountaineering achievements in the world.
If you want to climb the north face of Triglav (Slovenia’s highest mountain) or any other walls in Slovenia, please contact me. I also enjoy guiding ski trails in winter in the Julian Alps.
