Climbing Watzmann Ostwand in the Eastern Alps

Come climb the wall that no mountaineer should miss out on. Come climb the Watzmann Ostwand!

It is the highest rock wall in the eastern Alps and reserved for expert mountaineers only. You need to have an excellent physical condition to be able to handle up to 10 hours of climbing!

The ascent is not too difficult at a technical level. However, you shouldn’t underestimate the Watzmann Ostwand wall. Its length (1800m from  Königssee to the summit of the Watzmanns Südspitze) makes it one of the most difficult in the Alps. 

On the first day, we will meet and do an equipment check at the Wimbachbrücke parking lot. From there, we’ll drive to Königsee and go by boat to St. Bartholomä. Afterwards, we’ll spend the night at Ostwandlager.

Then, on the second day, we’ll start out really early. We’ll climb Watzmann Ostwand via Berchtesgadener Weg. Depending on the weather and the conditions, we will get to  Wimbachgrieß or the Watzmannhaus.

Nobody should climb Watzmann Ostwand without an experienced guide. Want to join me on this amazing challenge? Contact me now and we’ll start planning your trip.
