Description

I promise if you join me on this daring, challenging, fun and ultimately rewarding climb to the top of Zimba (2643m) from the Heinrich-Hueter Hut in Montafon, you will not regret it one bit, as we tackle the mighty mountain nicknamed “the Montafon’s Matterhorn” in one day and reward ourselves with some absolutely brilliant and special views from the summit over the lush green valleys below.

Montafon is a valley located in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg, and is renowned as a destination to indulge in all manner of outdoor activities, in both Summer and Winter. There is a rich alpine culture heritage in the region, and farming and agriculture still play a big part in life.

We will meet in the morning to give out any relevant safety and general information, before we head out to the climb.

There is no hiking trail up to the summit, so having a decent level of fitness is paramount to maximizing your enjoyment of the activity.

We will be climbing over rocky ridges and up some steep faces, but once we hit the Western ridge we then cross over to the summit, where the pay-off of all the effort becomes evident, as the glorious Montafon countryside stretches out beneath us, the lush green valleys and tranquil and idyllic alpine lakes providing a picture-perfect setting.

We then head back down and finish in the afternoon, having physically pushed ourselves and admired the marvelous qualities of the scenery around us.

Physically test yourself and admire the best views that Austria has to offer – book now so you don’t miss out!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard
